I’ve done lots of academic (but hands on) engineering, mostly material (composites & nanocomposites), related. Applications were general industry, aerospace, renewables (PV & wind), sensors, and mobility.
Before that I was interested in arts and design, and eventually revived that through some speculative design projects.
I also did some youth work and later supervised a lot student theses and had A LOT of fun doing that.
I love catalyzing projects and giving advice where I can. I usually have too many ideas to pick one of them and push it alone, but it does happen sometimes.
I don’t like sitting in front of screens, yet… here we are.
I suck at programming, but I can and like to talk to programmers.
I’ve started to look a little deeper into resource efficiency, ecology (a little late, I know), collaboration & management.
Since I was told at sign-up to “make myself at home”, here’s a few books/concepts I got a kick out of:
Tufte: Visual display of quantitative information,
Catton: Overshoot (kick went a little lower),
Cynefin framework, black swans, anosognosia, percolation
User innovation (my day job) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKcAcm5NDOI
Languages I can (try to) help with: German, English, Swedish, French.
Locations: Marseille - but “my net” and possible hiding/meeting places (in Europe) include: Hamburg, Vienna, Berlin, Kiel, Paris, Stralsund, London, Birmingham, Oldenburg, north of Gothenburg.
