The proposed internship is inserted in one of the Interaction and Experience Design Research Lab’s projects concerning research activities within the field of interaction design. The research investigates on the use of data in digital and interactive solutions as nourishment for solutions that imply Artificial Intelligence for UX solutions and as carrier of meaning for functions and user awareness. The intern activities will span from desk research to case study collection and analysis to the mapping of digital tools that support data collection and analysis. The intern will learn methods and approaches for research in the field of design. Additionally, there’s room for the development of the thesis project on the topic.

The proposed internship is inserted in one of the Interaction and Experience Design Research Lab’s projects that refer to a European project on the EIT Digital Funding Program. In this project, politecnico di Milano is part of an international consortium that is developing an interactive solution to manage crowd behaviors using lights in physical public spaces. The intern will support the team in the literature and desk research and in the prototyping and testing of the designed solution. The intern will learn how international research funding works and act in practice. Additionally, there’s room for the development of the thesis project on the topic.

The proposed internship is inserted in one of the Interaction and Experience Design Research Lab’s projects that explore the current situation of sanitary emergency. For this project, the team is exploring the different approaches and solutions concerning the use of data adopted by different Nations in terms of tracking approaches and technologies, and solution involved for both private and public purposes. The intern will support the team in the collection and analysis of case studies and literature learning research approaches and critical thinking. Additionally, there’s room for the development of the thesis project on the topic.

The proposed internship will be inserted in one of the Pheel Lab’s project concerning research on consumer electronics for younger generations aiming at mapping trends for working and studying activities. The intern will learn how to collaborate in a team with different background and abilities bringing value and exploiting designers’ capability in understanding socio-technical system and contexts.

The proposed internship will be inserted in one of the Pheel Lab’s project aimed to developing a concept for a device dedicated to stress assessment and providing tools, including biofeedback strategies, aimed to provide awareness of the stress conditions, and to support stress management. The intern will learn how to collaborate in a team with different background and abilities bringing value and exploiting designers’ capability in developing new devices and apps. Additionally, there’s room for the development of the thesis project on the topic.
