ALISA GOIKHMAN

I am a PhD candidate at TU Berlin, researching the intersection of digital food culture, migration, and sustainability. Previously I worked on mobility justice at VW Future Center Europe, led the design of a graph-based navigation system for complexity at Filed 33, and worked independently and in collaboration with different agencies.
I was employed as a design researcher by the Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities (ACDH), collaborated with the University of Salamanca, and was a fellow at the Interaction Lab at Holon Institute of Technology. I teach experience design at the master's level and lecture in Germany and abroad.

NAVIGATING FOREIGN FOODSCAPES




At TU, my work as a PhD candidate examines the role of algorithms in shaping the spread and diffusion of food cultures, focusing on themes such as recipes as contact zones, consumer sovereignty, and the potential of design research to shift paradigms in sustainable nutrition studies. Through immersive workshops and experienceable prototypes, I aim to uncover the affordances and limitations of digital environments in fostering resilient, inclusive food systems that bridge cultural boundaries.
