Professor Jorge Lopes Ramos is a multi-award winning artist and researcher working at the intersection of immersive practice, simulation, disability arts and human-centred technology. He is the co-founder of SIMFONIK, an audio-led immersive simulation platform developed with clinicians, educators and people with lived experience to support empathy, communication and inclusion across healthcare, education and cultural settings.
Jorge is Professor of Interactive Theatre and Performance at the University of Greenwich and Co-Founder of the disabled-led arts organisation ZU-UK, which he leads with Artistic Director Persis Jadzé Maravala. His work draws on participatory theatre, serious games and simulation as tools for co-creation, organisational learning and systems change. Across his practice, he is interested in how technology — including AI — can be used not to accelerate output, but to enable access, deepen understanding and to support organisations in using technology as a tool for care, access and shared responsibility, rather than extraction, acceleration or exclusion.
