Author Information

Dr. Belinda J. Dunstan Dr. Belinda J. Dunstan is an academic in the Faculty of Arts, Design and Architecture at UNSW, and the Human Futures Lead for the UNSW Creative Robotics Lab. Belinda’s research is in the fields of Social Robotics and Human-Robot Interaction, with focus on appearance design, movement planning and technology ethics. She is an author and is a co-editor of Cultural Robotics (Springer, 2016), and designer of the first undergraduate social robotics course in the southern hemisphere, for UNSW. Belinda lectures in Human-Machine Interaction and Interior Architecture. Dr. Jeffrey T.K.V. Koh Dr. Jeffrey T.K.V. Koh is a Partner and the Director of Transformation at Chemistry, a B Corp-certified, planet-centric design consultancy in Singapore and Amsterdam. He helps clients and partners transform their organisations to thrive in an uncertain future via regenerative design, future thinking and systems thinking. Jeffrey is also an Associate Professor of Circular Design at the Singapore Institute of Technology and sits on the Advisory Board on Design and the Built Environment for Ngee Ann Polytechnic. He has patents in the US, Singapore and Japan for his inventions, and he helped to pioneer the field of Cultural Robotics.  Dr Deborah Turnbull Tillman Deborah Turnbull Tillman is an editor, author and curator, and teaches at UNSW School of Art & Design as a lecturer in Media Arts and Curatorial. She is the Culture and Technology Lead at the UNSW Creative Robotics Lab. Deborah’s curatorial practice specialises in design, technology and new media. Her most recent exhibition, co-curated with A/Profs Lian Loke and Dagmar Reinhardt, was SHErobots: Tool, Toy, Companion at Tin Sheds Gallery, University of Sydney, in 2022. Deborah's PhD, “New Media Curation: a novel methodology and preliminary criteria for exhibiting new media and interactive art,” was awarded in September 2018 and examines disruption and experiential learning regarding curatorial process. Dr. Scott Andrew Brown Scott Andrew Brown is a Lecturer at UNSW School of Art & Design, and the lead for the Assistive Technologies Stream in the UNSW Creative Robotics Lab. His expertise is in designing social experiences with neurodivergent people, deploying UX (user experience) and interaction design methods to co-create novel opportunities for engagement with groups that are often marginalised or otherwise not given a voice in the development of interactive products and services. Scott’s current work is on haptic and audio technologies for use by a range of neurodiverse people and researching the effectiveness of ‘quiet rooms’ for autistic children and their families at large sporting events.
