Short Bio

Hande Ayanoğlu is an associate professor and scientific director of the UNIDCOM/IADE Research Unit at Universidade Europeia (UE). She holds an international Ph.D. degree in design and innovation. She was the Executive Director of the UNIDCOM Research Unit at IADE, UE (2021-2024). She coordinated Master's in Product, Space and Interaction Design between 2024 and 2025 and Master's in Product and Space Design between 2018 and 2021 at IADE, UE. She has been working at IADE, UE since 2014, and she's been giving lectures in undergraduate design degrees (Industrial Design, Interaction Design, UX, and Ergonomics) and graduate design degrees (Master in Interaction Design, Master in Product and Space Design, PhD in Design, and PhD in Digital Game Development). Besides teaching, she has been involved in design research and actively collaborating with researchers in several other disciplines, namely computer science, psychology, architecture, ergonomics, and design. She participates in research projects in the areas of product design, interaction design, smart products/environments, emotional design, and human-robot interaction.
