Professor Fridolin Wild
Associate Lecturer
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

Role
Prof Dr Fridolin Wild is a Research Associate of Oxford Brookes University, full professor at The Open University. In his work, he seeks to close the dissociative gap between abstract knowledge and its practical application, researching radically new forms of linking directly from knowing something ‘in principle’ to applying that knowledge ‘in practice’ and speeding its refinement and integration into polished performance.
Prof Wild has published over 150 peer-reviewed papers, journal articles, and book chapters, and seven books. His €2.7m funded project 'Wearable Experience for Knowledge Intensive Training (WEKIT)' investigated AR technology supporting astronauts, doctors, and engineers with immersive training. His technical leadership of the €3.9m ARETE project on building a Europe-wide competitive ecosystem for XR interactive education won the Standards+Innovation award 2022 of CEN/Cenelec. He led the Augmented Reality technology roadmap in Product Assurance and Safety of the European Space Agency (ESA-ESTEC). He is supervising several PhD students, also at other Universities in the UK and in Sweden.
