SUPERVISOR

Prof. dr. Karana, E.

Stefano is a Postdoc at TU Delft, Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering. He researches and teaches in the area of materials for design, focusing on innovative and emerging materials and processes, including smart and bio-based materials for product and wearable applications. He explores design, knowledge transfer, and training methodologies, with an emphasis on materials experiences, sustainability, and future scenarios. On this and related topics, he has written publications (+30), co-supervised graduation projects (+20), participated in conferences, given lectures and workshops, and carried out research and consultancy activities. Stefano completed his PhD in Design, with the thesis “Design for Hybrid Material Systems. A Material Augmentation framework for meaningful experiences”, in 2021. He worked as a Research Fellow (equivalent to Postdoc researcher) at the Politecnico di Milano, Department of Design, from 2020 to 2022.

At the Politecnico di Milano, he has been working in the research projects “ICS Materials: interactive, connected and smart materials”, “De_Forma: Design Explorations on bio-Fabricated Organic Materials”, “InData: envisioning and prototyping informed by data”, and in the EU-funded projects “DATEMATS: Design-driven Approach to knowledge Transfer for Emerging Materials and Technologies”, “DESTEX: Industrial and creative Design in advanced Textile manufacturing”, “MaDe: Material Designers. Boosting Talent towards Circular Economy”.

In the meanwhile, he gained expertise in teaching, as a teaching assistant at Politecnico di Milano, School of Design, and as visiting professor in other institutions (Istituto Marangoni, SPD Scuola Politecnica di Design, Poli.Design), dealing with materials and processes, CMF (Color, Material and Finishes) and concept design. Through his professional experiences as a design consultant, he has gained practice-based expertise on design research, trends forecasting, materials and technological surveillance and scouting, concept design and CMF design in the fields of product, automotive and materials development.

PREVIOUS PROJECTS

ICS MATERIALS

He was involved in the project ICS_Materials. ICS_Materials is a fundamental research project of the Department of Design, Politecnico di Milano, inquiring about the relationship between design, new materials, and interaction. It aims to explore new classes of interactive, connected, and smart materials, unfold a definition and framework, and develop future visions and methods to design with and for them.


More Details

DESIGN FOR HYBRID MATERIAL SYSTEMS, PHD RESEARCH

The PhD research is focused on the emerging field of Hybrid Material Systems, i.e., material-based systems combining inactive materials, smart material components, and embedded sensing, computing, and actuating technologies. They arise as potential enablers of meaningful dynamic and interactive experiences as tangible interfaces in a diversity of applications, from wearable devices to interactive environments. However, the design space lacks a systematised set of directions and a roadmap to approach the specific requirements of these materials. The result of the research is a methodological framework for design practitioners and students to understand and design for Hybrid Material Systems, enabling material augmentation for meaningful experiences.revious projects
