About

Lasse Christiansen is a leading researcher at the intersection of manufacturing technology, work organisation, and socio-technical systems. His work critically examines the robotisation of manufacturing work, using innovative frameworks such as soft systems thinking to untangle the complex relationships between technology, people, and organisational structures. His most-cited paper, "Conceptualising the robotisation of manufacturing work: a thematic analysis of the literature using soft systems thinking as lens" (2024, 4 citations), provides a holistic assessment of how robots are reshaping shop-floor dynamics, moving beyond purely technical perspectives to consider human and systemic entanglements. Christiansen’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging engineering and social science, offering actionable insights for designing more humane and efficient automated workplaces. His research is gaining traction among scholars and practitioners seeking to understand the nuanced impacts of Industry 4.0. By foregrounding the interplay of technology and work, Christiansen is helping to shape a more integrated, people-centred vision for the future of manufacturing.
