Jonas Jørgensen is an Associate Professor at the SDU Soft Robotics Lab with nine years of interdisciplinary experience spanning biorobotics, physics, electronics engineering and art history. He combines rigorous PhD-level research from IT University of Copenhagen with hands-on teaching and lab leadership at University of Southern Denmark, developing soft-robotic systems grounded in both engineering and design sensibilities. His background in arts institutions and gallery work informs a unique approach to human-centered robotics, emphasizing aesthetics, interaction and public engagement alongside technical performance. Prior roles as a high-school science teacher and science communicator demonstrate strong education and outreach skills, enabling him to translate complex research into accessible experiences. Jonas’s trajectory reflects a rare blend of experimental practice, academic scholarship and cross-disciplinary collaboration that advances soft robotics beyond pure mechanics.
