Research
My career has involved research, teaching and consultancy in Occupational Psychology and Ergonomics. I have BSc and PhD degrees from the University of Hull. I am a chartered occupational psychologist and a fellow of both the British Psychological Society and the Ergonomics Society.
My specialist fields are task analysis, training and cognitive ergonomics. I have published books, papers and reports on these topics. In recent years I have focused my research on the history of ergonomics and occupational psychology. I was the General Editor of the journal Ergonomics for ten years.
I was presented with the Ergonomics Society's Otto Edholm Award in 1989, for "contributions to research and application, particularly in training and systems ergonomics".
