“It would be fantastic if we could develop hearing solutions that people would want to acquire at a much sooner point of time than they do with hearing aids today. That would make it much easier for people to get used to wearing them.”
“I hope there will be a scientific breakthrough to significantly help us counteract climate change.”
“Much of my work relies on our understanding of the human senses. I fear that we will never fully understand these processes just as we will probably never fully understand how the human brain works, but my hope for the future is that we will be able to create seamless sense augmentation. That means replacing a sense completely with technology – that accounts for all senses, not only hearing. It is far into the future, but that would really have a great impact on many people’s lives.”
“I hope that the general perception of the human body changes from focusing on and repairing individual functionalities, to a more holistic understanding of how everything is tied together. I also hope that we continue to focus on developing green and sustainable solutions, store energy effectively, produce enough food for everyone without exhausting and destroying nature, that we can reuse all the plastic in the seas for new purposes, and that we will be able to develop medicine for everyone to live a better life and maintain their quality of life for as long as possible. I could probably go on… ”

I hope that people in the scientific communities will become better at working together to bring the benefits of new science and technology to all of humanity, and those in charge will push for responsible use thereof.

I hope science continues to move in a direction where collaboration across disciplines becomes the norm. Some of the most exciting breakthroughs happen when different fields intersect like neuroscience and AI. I also hope we become even better at translating research into real-world solutions that make a tangible difference in people’s lives.
