Everyday Home Cooking (2025-)

Minjian Guo's doctoral research explores everyday home cooking as a situated form of Human-Food Interaction (HFI). It examines how sensory, material, and embodied encounters with ingredients shape people’s understanding of and relationships with food. The project aims to reconsider cooking within HFI not only as an activity to be assisted or optimised, but as a meaningful site of everyday care, embodied knowledge, and ecological concern.

Techno-Spirituality in Artistic Research (2023-)

Sarah Song's doctoral research explores the intersections of art, technology, and spirituality by framing creative practice as a site of knowledge production. At its core, the project investigates how technology might mediate contemplative/meditative experiences; rather than viewing technologies as instruments of efficiency, it positions them as facilitators of introspection, embodied awareness, and spiritual attunement within technology-saturated environments.

Post-Visit Museum Experiences (2022-)

Conducted in collaboration with multiple museums and cultural heritage institutions, Anqi Wang's doctoral research aims to unpack how experiences unfold in museums and how visitors engage with them over extended periods of time, bridging in-museum moments with post-visit experiences. The research has progressed through a combination of prototyping, workshops, and interviews.

Meaningful Data in Everyday Life (2017-2021)

Mary Karyda's doctoral research looked into ³¾±ð²¹²Ô¾±²Ô²µ´Ú³Ü±ô²Ô±ð²õ²õ—a part of meaning making that relates to feelings—as a resource to imagine personal informatics systems that are rooted in human relationships. Starting from current efforts in data-physicalisation and personal informatics that view personal data as part of people’s lived experiences, this research undertook an experience-centric approach to data representations.
