Biography

Larissa Pschetz is a Senior Lecturer in Design Informatics at the University of Edinburgh, focusing on temporal design, ecologies, biodesign, and inclusive technologies.

Larissa has substantial experience as a designer, having worked in research centers for IBM Watson (Cambridge, MA) and Microsoft Research (Cambridge, UK and Asia), as well as in interaction design offices in Germany including IxDS Berlin and HID Hamburg.
