Iohanna Nicenboim is an interaction designer and researcher, focusing on more-than-human design practices across biology and AI technology. Currently, she is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Delft University of Technology. Her PhD, which was funded by a Microsoft Research Scholarship at the same institution, centered on developing a more-than-human design approach to AI, i.e., designing-with.

Situated at the intersection of critical posthumanism, feminist theory, and design practice, Nicenboim’s research has contributed methodological interventions and emergent notions for HCI and design research. She has published several papers in international journals, including TOCHI, HCI and diid, and led workshops and panels at prominent conferences such as DIS and CHI. She recently co-edited a special issue in the HCI Journal on the More-than-Human Turn in Design and chaired the DRS track More-than-Human Design in Practice. Previously, she also served as one of the technical chairs for the Designing Interactive Systems (DIS) conference in 2023. She edited a book titled "Resourceful Ageing,” and contributed chapters to several books, in the topics of More-than-human Design, Human-robot Interactions, and Domestication of Media and Technology. 

Nicenboim's professional journey also includes industry experience, as she worked as a curator, teacher, and program coordinator, as well as a UX Manager for Bosch in Berlin. Her career reflects a commitment to interdisciplinary and practice-led design research and practice.
