Dr. Milena Radzikowska has presented her research in 17 countries across 6 continents, and been an invited speaker for academic researchers, graduate students, and industry over 30 times.

She is one of the founding members of the qLab, an Intersectional Feminist Design Research Lab, located at Mount Royal University, University of Waterloo, and University of Illinois. She sits on the Executive of the Canadian Society of Digital Humanities (CSDH/SCHN) and is the Diversity and Equity Officer and on the Executive for the Mount Royal University Faculty Association. Dr. Radzikowska also serves as a reviewer for She Ji: The Journal of Design, Economics, and Innovation; the Journal of Design Research; and the Digital Humanities Quarterly.

Since 2005, Dr. Radzikowska has collaborated on over 50 design research projects. Her research work is cross-disciplinary and informed by working with researchers from over 30 different fields, undergraduate and graduate researchers, practicing designers, industry partners, and not-for-profit agencies.

Milena's research is iterative and experimental—meant to challenge existing design conventions and explore unique alternatives to complex problems. She has led several teams in digital-material remediation, with physical and immersive exhibition components. She is also part of a team examining how to use prototypes in research, first to formulate research questions, then to produce theories, and finally to test them.

Milena has more than 75 publications and presentations on data visualization, aesthetics, interaction design, interaction theory, design methods, and design research. She is the co-author of Visual Interface Design for Digital Cultural Heritage (Routledge Publishing, 2011) and Design and the Digital Humanities: A Handbook for Mutual Understanding (Intellect, 2022), and the co-editor of Prototyping Across the Disciplines: Designing Better Futures (Intellect, 2021) and Networked Feminisms: Activist Assemblies and Digital Practices (Lexington Books, 2021).
