SURF Research Day 2026

Abhigyan Singh

Abhigyan Singh is an Assistant Professor of Design Anthropology for Social Change at the faculty of Industrial Design Engineering at TU Delft and a Research Fellow at the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions (AMS Institute). His research investigates how energy and climate transitions unfold in everyday life at neighbourhood and community scales across the Global North and Global South. His work centres on fairness, inclusion, and justice; non-market value exchange (reciprocity, gifting, sharing); and he develops hybrid approaches that combine design, digital, computational, and traditional techniques for qualitative field research. His work has been exhibited at Dutch Design Week and recognized with the WWNA Apply Award.
