Research
Research group: Design Ergonomics.
Enhancing the 'fit' between people and the products, equipment, systems and environments with which they interact: design, safety and usability of the built environment; design, safety and health in construction; design of equipment and workplaces; supporting healthy, productive ageing through design; slip, trip and falls as a multi-faceted problem.
Current research includes a 4 year cross-Research Council funded study examining workplace design and older workers; and an investigation of factors affecting the functioning and performance of crowds and other gatherings.
