Dr. Khashayar Razghandi
Khashayar Razghandi ist (Material-)Wissenschaftler und Ingenieur und arbeitet als wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter sowohl am Max-Planck-Institut für Kolloid- und Grenzflächenforschung als auch am Exzellenzcluster »Matters of Activity« an der Schnittstelle von Naturwissenschaft und Design.
Mit seinem diversen Bildungshintergrund und einer umfangreichen inter- und transdisziplinären Berufserfahrung;
... decken seine Forschungsinteressen verschiedene, aber konvergierende Themen ab, wie:
I) kollaborative Methodologien für Wissenschaft und Design, bio-inspirierte Designstrategien & designgetriebene wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen
II) Interdisziplinäre kreative Prozesse und Teamarbeit (Mediation und Bildung)
III) Active Matter - Strukturen, Funktionen und Systeme
IV) Nachhaltigkeit - Materialien, Funktionen und Kreisläufe
... steht ein reflektierender, praxisorientierter Umgang mit den Werten und Herausforderungen inter- und transdisziplinärer Praktiken an der Schnittstelle von Naturwissenschaften und Design im Mittelpunkt seiner Arbeit.
... versteht er die Vermittlung solcher Praktiken auf der Ebene von Projekten, zwischen Wissenschaftler_innen und Designer_innen sowie auf der institutionellen Ebene, die eine Brücke zwischen den relevanten Forschungs- und Designinstituten und Industrien schlägt, als Teil seiner derzeitigen Rolle.
... unterstützt er außerdem Peter Fratzl in seiner Funktion als Co-Sprecher am Cluster.
