Elizabeth Jochum, PhD, is an Associate Professor at the RELATE Research Laboratory for Art and Technology at Aalborg University in Demark. Her research uses the visual and performing arts as catalysts for re-thinking how we design and implement robots and other assistive technologies to support health and human flourishing. From industrial robots to exoskeletons, Dr. Jochum’s work involves transdisciplinary collaboration in human-robot interaction, health, engineering, and the arts to develop creative, value-sensitive, and human-centered research to ensure the technologies we build address the real needs of people. She coordinates the ImprovAIze project that combines machine learning, dance improvisation, and wearables for artistic practice and rehabilitation. She previously coordinated the EXACT: Exoskeleton, Art and Choreographic Training project. She serves on the steering committing of Aalborg University Robotics and the Arts, Health, and Humanities center at AAU. She was named one of the top 50 Women in Robotics by Robohub in 2021.
