About our speaker 

Associate Professor Jacqueline Lorber-Kasunic

Jacqueline Lorber Kasunic is an Associate Professor in Design at the UTS and co-lead of the Innovation and Design theme within UARC. She is recognised for her expertise in visualisation, as well as social and service design. Jacqueline’s work utilises experimental visualisation techniques to explore complex data landscapes across disability, aged care, the humanities, and the sciences. She collaborates to design inclusive, integrated, and engaging approaches to information systems and services.

Currently, Jacqueline’s research is focused on the development of new web-based interactive digital tools aimed at supporting decision-making for people in disability and ageing contexts. These tools empower individuals to maintain independence and make informed decisions about their lives, improving outcomes for both individuals and their caregivers.
