MSc. BSc. Bodewes, H.H.

Hilbrand Bodewes is the Program Coordinator of Health at the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering.

At IDE we focus on the societal challenges Health, Mobility and Sustainability to bring a unique way of thinking and working into these application fields. By developing tools and methods which integrate the three main perspectives – people, technology and organisation, IDE is there to focus on the user and user needs and values!

My goal as Program Coordinator Health is to position IDE as the global leader in design research within the societal challenge of health. I manage the cross-departmental coordination within the Health theme at Industrial Design Engineering, with other faculties at TU Delft, and with external partners. I aim to elevate both the academic and societal impact of Health research conducted at Industrial Design Engineering.
