Professor Jon Rogers

Professor

Department: Northumbria School of Design, Arts and Creative Industries

Jon Rogers is a professor of creative technology at the university of Northumbria in Newcastle with a PhD in neural networks from Imperial College in 2001 and seventeen years teaching and research practice at the University of Dundee (2003-2020).  Now at the University of Northumbria, Newcastle, he takes a very hands-in approach to understanding human relationships with emerging technology by making things that help to uncover as yet untold stories of how our relationship with the internet and related technologies might unfold. In a world where the stories  of our digital lives are being unknowingly shaped by design patterns originating through big tech,  it is time we considered rewriting these to foster a more open society where more people can thrive and prosper in new self-directed ways. Following a three year Senior Fellowship with Mozilla in Berlin (2016-2019) he led the Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie doctoral training programme OpenDoTT exploring trust and the internet of things. Jon has a long history of organising and delivering workshops that engage professionals, academics and the public with emerging technologies at SXSW, Mozilla Festival, Republica, Unbox Festival, London Design Festival, ThingsCon,  ACM CHI, DIS and TEI.
