Academic background
Elisabeth's research focuses on systemic design methodology within a business context, aiming to develop interventions for complex problems related to the climate crisis. She conducts action-research-based case studies to analyze various conceptual approaches to systemic design. As part of her PhD, she is also a design researcher at TULIPS, a European Horizon 2020 project (2022-2026), which aims to demonstrate lower polluting solutions for sustainable airports across Europe. Within this project Elisabeth co-designs systemic interventions aiming to facilitate a transition from linear to circular airports, focusing on waste management.
Elisabeth is a member of the Systemic Design Lab and the IDE Faculty PhD Council at TU Delft and is also a visiting researcher at AHO in Norway, where she is exploring Systems Oriented Design (SOD).
