Iryna Kuksa

Dr Iryna Kuksa holds a permanent Senior Research Fellowship in Art and Design. Her main job responsibility is to carry out high-level research, disseminating findings through publications, presentations at key academic conferences and seminars. She is a founder and co-convenor of the Early Career Researchers group at NTU and since 2015 has been running a high-profile guest seminar series ‘Creative Innovation across Disciplines’. Dr Kuksa was the lead editor of ‘Design for Personalisation’ book, published in 2017 by Routledge. She worked closely with Prof Tom Fisher (co-editor) to compile a first of a kind collection of essays to synthesise the existing multidisciplinary scholarship and define the nascent field of personalisation. She was also a lead author of ‘Making Sense of Space: the Design and Experience of Virtual Spaces as a Tool for Communication’ (published by Chandos/Elsevier in 2014) which offers an original approach to investigating the ways we use virtual worlds for communication, learning and creative practices.
