Nazli Cila

Nazli Cila is a researcher at the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering (IDE) at Delft University of Technology, specializing in Human-Centered Design and Human-Technology Relations. Her work lies at the intersection of design, artificial intelligence, and robotics, with a strong emphasis on ethical and human-centered approaches.

Her research focuses on Human-AI collaboration, Responsible AI, and More-than-human design, exploring how intelligent systems can be designed to align with human values and lived experiences. She investigates design methods for AI and robotics, particularly in contexts such as mental health, smart homes, and agricultural automation.

Nazli Cila’s recent publications reveal a strong trend toward integrating ethical considerations and aesthetic experience into AI systems, especially in diagnostic tools and human-robot ecologies. Her work often employs speculative and participatory methods to uncover value conflicts and envision alternative futures for technology.
