David Keyson

David Keyson is a Professor in the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering at Delft University of Technology. His work focuses on Human-Centered Design and Codesigning Social Change, with particular expertise in workplace design, energy efficiency, and health technology applications. He maintains an active research profile with recent publications in leading design journals.

Professor Keyson's research interests include Human-Centered Design, Social Design, Workplace Design, Energy Efficiency, and Health Technology. His work bridges theoretical design frameworks with practical applications, particularly in office environments and home settings. He has developed frameworks for understanding how physical spaces influence social interaction, privacy perception, and wellbeing in workplaces.

His recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on how design interventions can address contemporary challenges such as sedentary behavior in workplaces, energy management in homes, and creating social office spaces. The articles show a methodological approach that combines empirical research with conceptual framework development.

Professor Keyson is actively involved in multiple research projects including SusLabNWE (home energy management), Independent@Home (supporting elderly), Energy efficiency in dwellings, and Senior (sensor systems for hip replacement patients). These projects reflect his interdisciplinary approach that combines design thinking with technological innovation to address real-world problems.
