Lenneke Kuijer is an Assistant Professor in the Future Everyday research cluster at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). A leading expert in practices-oriented design, she specializes in human-computer interaction research, drawing heavily on social practice theories. Kuijer is a multidisciplinary researcher and contributes significantly to the intersection of social science and design, focusing on how design impacts everyday life. Her main research interests include social practice theory, research design, and the analysis of domestic energy demand in the context of designing computational artifacts that influence daily routines. Her PhD, granted with distinction in 2014, explored the implications of social practice theory for sustainable design, and she has a robust academic background that includes a postdoctoral research position at the DEMAND Research Centre at the University of Sheffield where she investigated the relationship between infrastructures and practices through a historic case study on space heating in social housing. Since joining TU/e as an Assistant Professor in 2016, she has also maintained a part-time postdoc position in Interactive Media Design at TU Delft to stay connected to her core research discipline.
