معرفی
Johan Blomkvist is an Associate Professor (Docent) at Linköping University's Department of Computer and Information Science (IDA), part of the Human-Centered Systems (HCS) research group. His affiliation includes the IDA department and HCS school within the university's broader technical and design-focused academic structure.
Blomkvist's research focuses on service design, interaction design, and human-computer interaction with an emphasis on ethical considerations, inclusive technologies, and future-oriented systems. He explores topics like AI ethics, accessibility for vulnerable populations, and the materiality of data in design processes. His work bridges theoretical frameworks with practical applications in education, robotics, and public infrastructure.
His recent publications (2020-2025) reveal a trend toward analyzing uncertainties in emerging technologies (e.g., human-AI interaction, autonomous transport), developing prototyping methods for trust-building, and redefining service design through speculative and critical lenses. The 2023-2025 articles particularly highlight explorations of unintended consequences in AI systems and inclusive design for children with disabilities.
Blomkvist has contributed to pedagogical innovations through courses integrating interaction design and robotics. His methodologies emphasize co-creation with stakeholders and interdisciplinary collaboration. Despite extensive research output, no specific scientific awards are listed in the provided materials.
His work extends to service design curriculum development and industry-academia partnerships, focusing on real-world application of design thinking. Current research themes include service innovation through prototyping, data-driven design, and critical perspectives on service ecosystems.
