About
Evert-Jan Hoogerwerf is a leading researcher at the intersection of assistive technology, human-robot interaction, and neurodevelopmental disorders. His work focuses on developing and evaluating innovative technological interventions to support individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other communication challenges. Hoogerwerf’s most cited study, "Using a Humanoid Robot as a Complement to Interventions for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: a Pilot Study" (2018, 36 citations), pioneered the use of humanoid robots as therapeutic tools, demonstrating their potential to enhance social engagement and communication in children with ASD. This pilot work has laid critical groundwork for integrating socially assistive robots into clinical and educational settings. Beyond robotics, Hoogerwerf has contributed to frameworks for accessible technology design and inclusive education. His research is distinguished by its practical, user-centered approach, bridging engineering and psychology to create meaningful, real-world impacts. With a growing citation record, Hoogerwerf’s studies are increasingly shaping how therapists, educators, and technologists approach intervention for neurodiverse populations, making him a key voice in the evolving field of assistive robotics.
