Our Humans and Machines Leadership Team

Dr Andrew Reeson

Dr Andrew Reeson

Group Leader, Humans & Machines

  • Dr Andrew Reeson leads the Humans & Machines research group, which applies computational social sciences to understand, and guide, the rapidly evolving relationships between humans (at the individual, organisational and societal level) and (digital) machines. It also develops technology which enables machines to draw insights from human language. A particular focus is developing the science required for effective collaboration between human and artificial intelligence (AI) through CSIRO’s CINTEL Future Science Platform.

Dr Claire Naughtin

Team Leader, Principal Research Consultant, Digital Futures

  • Dr Claire Naughtin specialises in data-driven strategic foresight. She leads the Digital Futures team, which combines future-focused and design-led approaches to help organisations identify and leverage digital and data technology opportunities. Claire is experienced in leading strategic research and consulting projects for government and industry clients, covering topics such as the future of healthcare, employment, digital technologies and emerging industries.

Dr Lucy Cameron

Team Leader, Principal Research Consultant, Innovation Economics

  • Dr Lucy Cameron is a digital transformation and new industry development expert. She is interested in determining the geographic patterns of innovation and what governments and businesses can do to effectively and cost-efficiently promote and exploit innovation. Her book, ‘Building an Innovation Hotspot’ outlines the policy levers used by governments and industry to support new industry development and local innovation. She is also a leading proponent of foresight, digital transformation and innovation in the Asia Pacific region.

Dr Claire Mason

Team Leader, Principal Research Scientist, Technology and Work

  • Dr Claire Mason leads the Technology and Work team and the Skills project within the Collaborative Intelligence Future Science Platform. Our multidisciplinary research investigates the workforce impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and in particular, what skills future workers will need to harness collaborative AI tools.

Dr Stephen Wan

Team Leader, Senior Research Scientist, Language Technology

  • Dr Stephen Wan is a computer scientist specialising in computational linguistics, an inter-disciplinary field that draws on both linguistics and computer science. His research employs natural language processing and text mining methods, in conjunction with machine learning, information retrieval and human computer interaction techniques.

Dr Andreas Duenser

Team Leader, Principal Research Scientist, Human Behaviour

  • Dr Andreas Duenser is interested in the convergence of psychology and emerging technology systems to develop a deeper understanding of human behaviour and cognition in a technology context and to drive innovation and adoption. Andreas’ work focuses on: human factors research with new interactive technologies; understanding and developing models of human trust and cognitive workload when interacting with (semi)automated systems, decision support and ML/AI systems; and novel evaluation and assessment methods of human behaviour and cognitive processes.
