About Research Publications Teaching Outreach

About

I am professor in Design for Sustainability at the Department of Design, NTNU Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. My research and teaching interests include the design of sustainable products and services in general, and more specifically design for sustainable behaviour and practices, implementation of design for sustainability in industry, societal narratives and discourse about sustainability, citizen engagement and co-creation. Take a look at my publication list, this is probably the best way to get an impression of current and past research interests and results.
