Dr. Javed-Vassilis Khan

I am curious about how people interact with technical systems and, based on that curiosity, I design, realize, and evaluate novel interactive systems.

I currently apply that curiosity at the European Commission.

I hold a PhD and a P.D.Eng. degree from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), as well as an MSc in Computer Engineering from the University of Patras. In the past, I was heading (2020-2025) the UX efforts at Sappi, a global manufacturing company, and before that I held the tenured position of assistant professor at TU/e's Department of Industrial Design, and served four years as associate editor of the Behaviour & Information Technology journal.

I have also gained industrial R&D experience in design and HCI research roles at Philips Research, Vodafone, and Greece's Computer Technology Institute.
