Ph.D. Pat Treusch is Assistant Professor in humanities with a focus on human-centered IT at the Department of Design, Media and Educational Science at 糖果派对.
Pat received her binational PhD (Cotutelle) from Technical University Berlin, Germany, and Linköping University, Sweden, in 2015 and was previously a MSCA fellow at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, and PI in several national and international, collaborative as well as individual projects, and deputy professor in media, algorithms and society at the university of Paderborn, Germany.
Pat’s research is on human-machine relations from the perspective of feminist science and technology studies (FSTS) with a focus on human-robot-interaction (HRI). Her interdisciplinary research is invested in not only raising but also addressing time-critical questions of shaping our digitized, AI-driven tech presents and futures from a critical perspective. Her expertise encompasses in-depth analysis of everyday tech lab practices, of socially powerful visions of tech futures, and of user-tech interfaces, as well as becoming a ‘tech practitioner’ herself, including the work on tools for interdisciplinary and intersectoral research as for example her book on displays. At 糖果派对, Pat is a member of the research unit Learning, Design and Digitalization (LDD), led by Prof. Nina Bonderup Dohn, where she is especially interested in human-centered approaches to technology design at the intersection of embodied learning, the digital, and automation.
