Overview
Research summary
I am a Professor (Personal Chair) of Human Factors and Cognitive Science within the School of Psychology at Cardiff University. I Direct the Human Factors Excellence (HuFEx) Research Group (with Profs Dylan M Jones and Rob Honey). and am Deputy Co-Director and Director of Research within the Centre for Artificial Intelligence, Robotics & Human-Machine Systems (IROHMS). I am seconded part-time to Airbus as Technical Lead for Cyberpsychology and Human Factors and the Airbus Accelerator in Human-Centric Cyber Security.
My expert areas include: human-machine interface (HMI) design / human-computer interaction (HCI); cyber psychology, developing understandable and trustworthy automation and AI; transport and intelligent-mobility (with a key focus on connected and / or autonomous vehicles); and understanding and mitigating the negative effects of interruption and distraction. I often work with multi-disciplinary teams including computer scientists, engineers, social scientists, and legal experts to try and effectively address research problems and identify solutions within each of these areas. Many of my past and present research projects involve working with academic and industry collaborators.
My research bridges Human Factors and Cognitive Science: addressing important practical issues within workplaces and involving transport whilst drawing upon theory and using – and often developing – best practice methodological approaches, e.g., using behavioural experimental and human factors techniques and methods, vehicles, driving simulators, eye tracking, EEG, and human-state monitoring. I am particularly motivated by research that speaks to real world research questions and problems involving human performance, with the goal of identifying effective, feasible and applicable solutions. Thus, as well as conducting lots of laboratory experiments at Cardiff University and with national and international collaborators, much of my research tends to involve people who in workplace settings as well as those developing, designing and using technology such as intelligent mobility solutions.
My Cognitive Science work tends to focus on the effects of visual and auditory interruption and distraction on performance of tasks involving attention, short-term memory and problem solving. Some of my past work has involved unpicking the effects of interruption on goal-directed memory, and, adapting features of computer interfaces to encourage deeper cognitive processing of key information and thereafter protect against negative effects of interruption.
I have secured (often as PI or institution Lead) >£18M of research funding from e.g., Airbus, CREST, DHCSTC, EPSRC, ESRC, HSSRC, IUK, MOD, SOS Alarm; WEFO, Wellcome Trust. Recent and past projects include: Flourish Trusted Secure Mobility for Older Adults (2016-19, IUK, >£5.5M, Cardiff University Lead); IROHMS (2019+, WEFO & Cardiff University, >£4.5M); Airbus Cyber Psychology and Human Factors (2019-2022, Airbus / Endeavr Wales, ~£600k, PI); and Principles of Distributive Liability for Multi-Agent Societies (2020-23: ESRC-JST, Cardiff University (~£500k), PI, with collaborators in Japan – e.g., at the Universities of Kyoto and Osaka).

Postgraduate research interests
My main research interests are: Human-machine interface (HMI) design; Human-computer interaction (HCI); Cyberpsychology; Developing understandable and trustworthy automation and AI; Transport and intelligent-mobility (with a key focus on connected and / or autonomous vehicles); Understanding and mitigating the negative effects of interruption and distraction.
For more information on my research in all of these areas, please see my publications or research pages.
If you are interested in applying for a PhD, or for further information regarding my postgraduate research, please contact me directly (contact details available on the 'Overview' page), or submit a formal application.

Current PGR Students
Janet Mundy (Cardiff University School of Psychology). Janet’s PhD fees are part funded by REET and the School of Psychology at Cardiff University. Janet is examining individual differences in spatial ability and task strategy with a focus on measures used to assess mental rotation abilities amongst university students studying STEM and non-STEM subjects. Janet hopes to inform the design of tests to measure mental rotation ability for selection (eg., employment) purposes. Writing-up.
Craig Williams (UWE-Bristol). Craig has a UWE-Bristol fully funded PhD studentship and is examining the effects of task interruption and distraction within emergency and critical care healthcare settings. Another goal of Craig’s PhD is to develop methods to adapt computer interfaces within emergency and critical care healthcare settings to influence cognitive strategy and mitigate negative effects of interruptions. Writing-up.
Louise Bowen (Cardiff University School of Psychology): Fully funded ESRC studentship. Behavioural aspects of safer transport. Writing-up.
Laura Bishop (Cardiff University School of Psychology and Airbus): Fully funded PhD studentship (School of Psychology) - human susceptibility to cyber threats. Title TBC.
Nicola Turner (Cardiff University School of Psychology): Part funded PhD studentship (School of Psychology and Trimetis): Human susceptibility to cyber threats. Title TBC.
George Raywood-Burke (Cardiff University School of Psychology and Airbus): Fully funded Endeavr Wales PhD studentship - Time and cognitive pressure effects on maladaptive cyber security behaviours
Arsalan Lambay (Cardiff University School of Engineering): Cognitive Artificial Intelligence with human-robot collaboration for smart manufacturing. Team: Dr Ying Liu, Dr Ze Ji, Prof Phil Morgan
Past projects
PAST STUDENTS
2014-17: Anna Bornioli (UWE-Bristol). Anna held a UWE-Bristol fully funded PhD studentship and examined the influence of the built environment on affective walking experience by drawing upon research within the fields of environmental psychology and geography. Her research has implications for policy and design of urban environments with an overarching health and well-being theme promoted through stress recovery and restoration. Anna is currently working with supervisors (Prof Graham Parkhurst and Dr Phillip Morgan) to publish all of her PhD studies (and has already published two journal articles with a third under revision). Anna is currently a Research Fellow within the Public Health Research Group and Centre for Appearance Research at UWE-Bristol.
Media activities
My human factors research tends to attract a lot of media attention. One example is human factors and autonomous driving:
Autonomous vehicles: 'handover' process crucial say researchers:

Planned handover key to driverless cars say VENTURER researchers
