Mafalda Samuelsson-Gamboa

Doctoral Student at Interaction Design and Software Engineering

Mafalda has a Master in Architecture from the Faculty of Architecture at Lisbon University. She is currently a Ph.D. candidate. Her research interests are focused on Interaction Design, particularly research through design and tackling tacit knowledge. She has a strong interest and long experience as a teacher within design methodology, user experience, sketching, and qualitative user studies.

Currently, her research is framed by the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program – Humanities and Society (WASP-HS) funded by the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation. Her project is centred on The rise of social drones: A constructive design research agenda.
