Carl H. Smith

Head of Research and Director of the Learning Technology Research Centre

My work as an academic and researcher for the last 25 years has been focused on generating social benefit through multiple technology for good projects. Raising over £10 million in funding, I have given over 300 invited public lectures, conference presentations and keynotes in 40 countries and published more than 100 academic papers. I have given keynotes at Google, the BBC, The European Economic Congress and Oxford and Cambridge Universities. I am also a TEDX speaker and Winston Churchill Fellow and consider being an RSA fellow as highly complementary to my work and activities. As the Head of Research and Director of the Learning Technology Research Centre (LTRC) at the Institute for Creativity & Technology, Ravensbourne University London I have many years of experience conducting R+D into the application of hybrid technologies for perceptual, cognitive and creative transformation. I am focused on using both the technological and biological means to alter, probe and study the spectral nature of consciousness. My research focuses on generating new forms of media including Neuroadaptive Mixed Reality Training, Natural Media and Wearable experience (WE). I have worked on numerous large-scale Leonardo LifeLong Learning, Erasmus+, FP7, XPRIZE and Horizon European projects including: Wearable Experience (WEKIT), REAP, AR4EU (Code Reality), Hobs Academy (LLDC), Contextology (Context Engineering) and Holotechnica.Academy.
