About
Teppo Hujala is a leading researcher in forest resource management and human–technology interaction, whose work bridges participatory decision-making, forest planning, and emerging human–robot relations in natural environments. His major contributions include advancing stakeholder-driven forest management models and exploring how digital tools can support collaborative planning among diverse actors. With over 1,000 citations across his career, Hujala’s research has shaped the integration of social science perspectives into forestry, particularly through studies on forest owners’ behavior and adaptive management. Notably, his recent work ventures into speculative and playful design, as seen in the 2025 paper “Forest-Robot-Stormin’: Exploring Play for Eliciting More-than-Human Forest-Robot Interactions,” which introduces creative workshops to envision human–robot coexistence in forests. This innovative approach reflects his commitment to expanding forestry research beyond traditional boundaries, engaging with game designers and technologists to imagine sustainable, more-than-human futures. Hujala’s interdisciplinary impact continues to inspire students and researchers to rethink the role of technology in ecological stewardship.
