I am a design researcher and educator at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) in Budapest, Hungary. My work explores how design can act as a reflective and embodied practic, a way to generate knowledge through making, sensing, and interaction. Grounded in Research through Design and Craft, my approach integrates theory and practice to examine the intersections of disability, embodiment, and human–robot interaction. I investigate how materials, technologies, and bodies co-shape each other, and how these relationships reveal new forms of knowledge. My teaching and research focus on how emerging technologies can be used to question norms rather than reinforce them, particularly through critical disability frameworks.
As the lead researcher of the MOME Robotics Studio, I explore and teach within the framework of Reflective Robotics, a research direction grounded in Donald Schön’s theories of reflection-in-action. This work connects critical design, robotics, and embodied learning, emphasizing reflection as a creative and ethical dimension of technological practice.
In addition to my design practice, I also publish and present my research internationally, contributing to conversations on embodied, inclusive, and reflective design. In 2020, I received the European Disability Forum (EDF) and ORACLE Awards for innovation in inclusive and sustainable technology. In 2022, my work was recognized with the Gillo Dorfles Prize and the First Prize at the Trieste Contemporanea Contest, and in 2025, I received the Don Norman Design Award in the Education category for the course Non-Bionormative Prosthesis Design.
