Jasper is a PhD researcher at the Australian Cobotics Centre (ACC) and an affiliate researcher at the QUT Centre for Robotics. His project aims to understand how humans and robots can work together safely and successfully in a wide variety of real-world applications, including those in manufacturing and surgical contexts. Using user experience methods, he aims to provide insights that can support future collaborations between humans and robots who work closely together.
Before starting with the ACC, Jasper completed his Master’s Degree in Media Studies with Cum Laude distinction from Erasmus University (Netherlands) in 2022. To extend this study period, Jasper pursued a Post-Master’s at Keio University (Japan) to examine emergent technologies in context. Jasper obtained a BSc Honours degree in Media and Communication at Erasmus University. He has been a teaching assistant for several years, engaging in novel educational and communication technologies courses.
In prior research, Jasper has focused on user acceptance and user attitudes towards smart home technologies. At QUT, he will continue his passion of bringing together humans and technologies in ways that are efficient, safe and, above all, very exciting.
