Fabian is working on a variety of projects at AMS Institute where he explores how to operationalize the societal values defined in the “tada principles” when designing smart technology for the city of Amsterdam. To this end, Fabian is collaborating closely with academic researchers and public institutions.

Fabian has a background in design, graduating from the “Design for Interaction” master program at TU Delft. In his graduation project “Reimagining the smart allocation of road space in Amsterdam for fairness” Fabian took a deep dive into designing for value change in the context of public AI. Next to his studies, Fabian gained experience as a freelancer in several startups and NPO’s such as Realmatch 360, dade design and Teilzeitmann.

A personal ambition of Fabian is to engage students in the various projects of the Responsible Sensing Lab. For example, by providing case studies and assignments for course and thesis projects.

Fabian is enticed by AMS Institute’s approach of combining academic research with hands-onconceptualizing, prototyping and testing in the city of Amsterdam.

“Amsterdam holds opportunities for diverse design activities. From interventions that im-prove today’s everyday life to speculative explorations of the distant futures. I’m curious to explore how different design paradigms can play together in shaping our cities.”
