Kit Kuksenok, PhD

Hello! I'm a Berlin-based researcher and data scientist. I hold a MSci (2014) and a PhD (2016) in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Washington (Seattle); and I am currently working on my masters in public administraction at the Hertie School of public policy and governance in Berlin.

Technical Trainer

As a technical trainer for organizations across sizes and sectors, I help teams adapt emerging technologies to the needs of their work.

The topic of organizational change, and how a group can adapt new technologies to their work, was the subject of my PhD. Over the last decade, I have greatly expanded my knowledge of organizational change and technological adaptation through experience as a software engineer and data analyst; and through coursework and training within my current master's program. Since 2010, I have worked with/in various teams in the tech industry, working primarily on B2B applications. Some of my work contributed to peer-reviewed publications that can be viewed on my Google Scholar and ORCiD profiles.

Upcoming Events

Upcoming Courses @ School of Machines (Berlin/online)

In April 2023, I presented my work on body data at Data for Care @ NeMe Arts Center. I use participatory performance, drawing, and movement to study how people encounter body data. This work, ongoing since 2008, has included systematic self-reflection, such as through consumer self-tracking technologies; recently extending to digital surveillance of human bodies.

As a technologist, I also work with speculative fiction, exploring collaborative storytelling, and crafting performances with machines.
