Summary
My research is in the fields of human factors, human-computer interaction, usability and cognitive engineering. I am particularly interested in decision-making processes and how to design and evaluate effective interactive healthcare interventions to improve patient outcomes and reduce medical errors. I am a visiting lecturer in the Department of Population Health Sciences at King’s College London.
There are positions available in our research group for excellent prospective PhD students interested in human factors in healthcare. Please get in touch!
We are currently looking for exceptional candidates for the Imperial President’s PhD Scholarships, China Scholarship Council, the London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership LISS DTP.
