Jesper Bruun

Jesper Bruun serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Science Education at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Science, specializing in physics education research with emphasis on digital technologies and network analysis in upper-secondary and university contexts.

Education

• PhD in Physics Education Research
• Cand. Scient. in Physics

Research Focus: Bruun pioneers the application of network science to educational research, examining cognitive-social learning interplay, kinesthetic physics exercises, and Learning Analytics. His methodology leverages big data to map academic networks and optimize educational systems across levels, with recent expansion into AI-driven pedagogy.

Current Research Trends: Recent publications (2025) demonstrate concentrated exploration of network-based analysis for student engagement patterns, AI chatbot integration in STEM instruction, and physical analogy development. These works bridge theoretical frameworks with practical classroom applications across Danish upper-secondary and university settings.

Academic Leadership: Bruun actively supervises bachelor/thesis projects on digital education tools and kinesthetic methods while co-organizing major conferences (ESERA 2025, Unfinished Business 2025). His collaborative projects—including KA-STEM evaluation and scientist-teacher partnerships—highlight commitment to evidence-based educational transformation through cross-institutional teamwork.
