Jordy Kaufman

Dr Jordy Kaufman is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Swinburne University of Technology. His research focuses on the intersection of child development and technology, exploring how children interact with and learn from various technologies such as virtual reality, touchscreens, video chat, and robots.

Dr Kaufman's studies, which employ a range of methods, including behavioural experiments, event-related high-density EEG, neuroimaging, and surveys, provide a nuanced understanding of children's engagement with technology. This research contributes to our understanding of child development in the digital age; and, in doing so, informs educational practices and policy.

As part of his research program, Dr Kaufman has led multiple projects for the Australian Department of Education and Training, focusing on enhancing children's learning experiences through technology. These projects bridge the gap between academic research and real-world applications, demonstrating the potential of technology to transform learning experiences.

While grounded in psychology, the work conducted in Dr Kaufman's research program intersects with technology and education. This interdisciplinary approach and dedication to applying research to real-world challenges contribute to the evolving dialogue on innovation in education and child development, reflecting the dynamic nature of the field.
