PhD Computer Science and Human Factors, BSc (Hons) Computer Science, University of Nottingham.
Research Fellow
Profile
Ainojie Alexander Irune is a Human Factors Research Fellow at the Mixed Reality Laboratory, Human Factors Research Group (HFRG) and Horizon Digital Economy Research at the University of Nottingham. His work involves the investigation of Human Factors and Ergonomic issues within transportation, mobile and ubiquitous computing research. Currently, he is involved in providing human factors guidance within a Horizon research project exploring ways of harnessing social networks to support sustainable transport. Prior to this, his research focused on human-centred design and evaluation issues for in-vehicle information systems - the impacts of in-vehicle information systems on the driver; the potential for novel user-interfaces in a driving context; and the methods appropriate for use in the design and evaluation of such technology. He holds a BSc. and a PhD. in Computer Science and Human Factors from the University of Nottingham.
