Benjamin Lipp serves as Assistant Professor at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) within the Department of Technology, Management and Economics, specializing in Science and Technology Studies. He joined DTU in 2023 following a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship at Cornell University and the University of Hamburg.
Dr. Lipp earned his PhD in Science and Technology Studies from the Technical University of Munich in 2019, with a dissertation examining assistive care robots in Europe, and holds a Diploma in Sociology from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (2013).
His research program investigates the socio-material dimensions of human-machine interfaces in healthcare contexts through the lens of Science and Technology Studies and sociology. Key research themes include:
- Socio-technical aspects of care robotics implementation
- User experiences with digital pain management technologies
- Co-creation processes involving patients and healthcare professionals
- Policy implications of healthcare technology adoption
- Discursive effects of synthetic data in AI development
Dr. Lipp's recent publications demonstrate a clear trajectory examining interface theory, digital health technologies, and the social implications of AI in healthcare settings. His work spans theoretical contributions to STS while maintaining strong empirical grounding in healthcare contexts, particularly chronic pain management and elderly care robotics.
His scholarly achievements include publications in high-impact venues such as Nature, Social Studies of Science, and Science, Technology & Human Values, along with the prestigious Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship recognition.
Dr. Lipp actively supervises PhD research, notably as supervisor for the "Socially Sustainable Algorithms for Chronic Pain" project (2024-2027). He has organized significant public engagement initiatives including a 2017 care robots event at TUM and a 2023 Cornell workshop on digital pain technology, facilitating dialogue between researchers, industry, practitioners, patients, and citizens.
