C.C. Risseeuw

C.C. Risseeuw is a researcher at Delft University of Technology's Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering within the Materials and Manufacturing domain, specializing in the intersection of human-computer interaction, microbial design, and living materials. Their work pioneers the integration of flavobacteria into interactive systems for living color applications and aesthetic exploration.

Risseeuw's research establishes a cohesive trajectory in microbial interaction design, focusing on three core dimensions: defining design spaces for direct microbial interaction (2024), developing computational tools for aesthetic tuning of living systems (FlavoMetrics, 2023), and creating taxonomic frameworks for microbial displays (2023). Their investigations consistently bridge biological processes with user-centered design principles, transforming flavobacteria's chromatic properties into tangible interfaces like Flavorium (2022) that demonstrate the functional and expressive potential of living materials in HCI contexts.

Awards:

• Best Paper Honourable Mention at CHI 2024 for research on direct interactions with flavobacteria

Risseeuw maintains active collaborations with Elvin Karana and international researchers, evidenced by co-authorship across multiple high-impact venues. While specific advising roles and grant funding remain undocumented, their work is deeply embedded within TU Delft's industrial design research ecosystem, contributing to emerging paradigms in bio-digital interfaces and sustainable interaction design.
