Biography

Jasmina Stevanov is a lecturer in Consumer Psychology at the University of Bristol Business School, where she applies her training as an experimental psychologist to explore the intersection of psychology and art. She completed her doctoral studies at Ritsumeikan University (2009-2013) and subsequently undertook postdoctoral work at Kyoto University (2013-2015). Her research interests focus on the incorporation of disciplines such as psychophysics, neuroscience, and aesthetics to understand how individuals perceive and interact with works of art. Dr. Stevanov's work aims to address the longstanding question of what makes paintings aesthetically pleasing, examining the roles of style and semantic content. She employs machine learning and eye-tracking techniques to investigate individual preferences in visual art, with the goal of developing technologies that provide automatic feedback to users about their aesthetic preferences, thereby predicting future choices. Additionally, she co-leads initiatives to develop digital tools that inform inclusive art and architectural design, enhancing the participatory experience of diverse communities in the arts.
