Prof. Judith Glaser
Judith Glaser is Associated Investigator at the Cluster »Matters of Activity« in the research project Cutting. A trained goldsmith, with professional experience in Germany and abroad, she holds a master's degree in product design with a focus on interaction design from Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin (KHB).
From 2018 to 2023, she has been working for Studio NAND, a Berlin-based design studio specializing in data-driven user interfaces and interactive technologies. Her work as design professional as well as her years of teaching the interdisciplinary MoA project format »Coding IxD« led to her research interest in skills and knowledge constellations at the intersection of design and computer science. This interest is also reflected in her design focus in the field of neo-analog, a synthesis of digital (code) and analog (material) interaction.
She taught as a Visiting Professor in the product design department at the Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin before being appointed to the Faculty of Design Würzburg in the summer semester of 2023.
