Jeanette Falk

Jeanette Falk is an Assistant Professor at the Human-Centered Computing group in the Department of Computer Science, Aalborg University, Copenhagen. She has a strong research background in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), with a deep focus on the temporality of design processes (long- and short-term design, fast and slow-paced design thinking). Her research interests include participatory design, creativity, game jams, and hackathons. Dr. Falk is dedicated to exploring how tools can support design processes of varying paces, as well as the impact of artificial intelligence technologies on design. Moreover, she has conducted in-depth academic research on how rapid design processes foster creativity and decision-making, integrating such fast-paced design models into educational and research practices.
