Human Factors Research Group

Description

The Human Factors Research Group (HFRG) is a multidisciplinary, world-leading team comprising of specialists in: cognitive, physical and environmental ergonomics; architecture; urban design; building physics; psychophysics; psychology; engineering; computer science; and product design.

Core to the group's research is the application of human/person centred theories, methods and approaches to tackle contemporary, real world challenges faced by individuals, organisations, communities and societies, across a variety of application domains.

These include: transport; healthcare; education; the creative industries; manufacturing; natural environments; and urban settlements. The group takes a human/person centred, systems approach, employing applied field-based research methods and novel technologies (including virtual reality, prediction and simulation systems), to ensure design is appropriate, usable, efficient, effective and supports user/occupant health and wellbeing, thus enhancing the ways in which humanity lives, works and plays.
