About

Laetitia Bornes is a leading voice in Sustainable Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), a field she has helped reshape through rigorous, actionable frameworks. Her most-cited work, "A Methodology and a Tool to Support the Sustainable Design of Interactive Systems" (2023, 9 citations), directly confronts the historical limitations of sustainable HCI. Where earlier approaches were criticized for being reductive—focusing narrowly on either reducing hardware material impact or nudging user behavior—Bornes proposes a holistic, integrated methodology. Her major contribution lies in translating complex sustainability principles into a practical tool for designers and engineers, bridging the gap between high-level theory and everyday design practice. This work is foundational for researchers seeking to embed environmental considerations into the entire lifecycle of interactive systems, from conception to disposal. While her citation count is still growing, the conceptual impact of her work is significant, positioning her as a key architect of the next generation of sustainable design. Bornes’ research is essential reading for any student or practitioner committed to building a truly sustainable digital future.
