Hi! I'm Donald.

I'm a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the HIT Lab NZ, a research centre at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand.

My research explores the intersection of haptics, fabrication and virtual reality. I build tools and create methods to design touch experiences.

If you're interested in collaborating with me (or want to visit New Zealand), contact me at donald.degraen (at) canterbury.ac.nz or check out:
