Jeanette Falk

Jeanette Falk is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Aalborg University, affiliated with The Technical Faculty of IT and Design. Her research focuses on temporality in design processes, particularly exploring how time and AI technology influence creativity and design methodologies. She investigates long-term and short-term design processes, fast and slow-paced design thinking, and the impact of generative AI on creative workflows. Her work emphasizes sustainability, including the environmental footprint of AI in HCI research.

Her research interests include Human-Computer Interaction, generative AI, participatory design, and temporal aspects of collaborative design. She has published extensively on hackathons, game jams, and the role of pacing in design innovation. Her recent work addresses ethical and environmental considerations in AI-driven design processes.

Key contributions include developing tools like the HCI GenAI CO2ST Calculator to assess AI's environmental impact and exploring creative evaluation methods at scale. She actively participates in academic events and contributes to advancing hackathon methodologies and AI literacy initiatives.
