Research

The work falls into seven threads. They overlap on purpose: a paper about trust in a factory decision-support system belongs to the production thread and the trust thread at once, and appears under both.

  1. Public Perception of AI

    19 publications · 2018–2026

    What the public actually expects, fears, and values in artificial intelligence — and how far that sits from what experts believe.

  2. Trust, Agency & Human–Robot Interaction

    17 publications · 2016–2026

    What happens to trust, agency, and a sense of control when people work beside machines that are usually — but not always — right.

  3. Human Factors in Cyber-Physical Production

    56 publications · 2013–2026

    Making industrial data legible to the people who have to act on it, and putting the human back into cyber-physical production.

  4. Measuring Technology Acceptance

    29 publications · 2013–2026

    Building the instruments — micro scenarios, conjoint designs, semantic differentials — that make "would people accept this?" an answerable question.

  5. Privacy, Life-Logging & Personal Data

    8 publications · 2018–2025

    What people will trade for convenience, who refuses, and why the refusers are not simply behind the curve.

  6. Serious Games & Learning

    27 publications · 2009–2024

    Games as instruments — for teaching hard ideas, for training decisions under complexity, and for extracting knowledge that experts cannot articulate.

  7. Interactive Textiles & Assisted Living

    24 publications · 2013–2022

    Interfaces that disappear into curtains, sofas, and clothing — and whether the people meant to live with them actually want to.
