Linda Nhu Laursen

Associate Professor on the Professor Promotion Program. As Research Head of the Design Lab, Aalborg University Linda Nhu Laursen drives research on how to create products that will solve long-term problems for the planet and that people will use, cherish and love for a long time. She leads research on how to create products, that are not prematurely discarded, because they have become obsolete either functionally, aesthetically or technically.

As a scientific leader, she sets the research direction for 12-15 researchers at the Design Lab. They experiment with concepts, methods and new systemic approaches to sustainable design, development, materials and production, that can extend products’ value. She directs the research agenda on responsible design, design to last, repair, second hand, zero waste by coupling research impact with societal impact.
