Judith Good appointed professor of Human Factors in the Internet of Things
Judith Good’s research focuses on how best to enable and empower people through the design of innovative and inclusive digital technologies. Her approach is user-centred and participatory, aiming to work with the users of the technologies from the very start. Her specific areas of interest are in learning (including game-based learning, and game creation for learning), and in developing technologies which can enhance the lives of disabled people (including autistic individuals). Such technologies can take multiple forms, including virtual and augmented reality as well as mobile, tangible and sensor-based applications.
As an UvA professor in this new chair, Good will focus on developing impactful technologies which start from a true understanding of users and their needs, and make use of the latest advances in Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things. The chair will play a bridging role between the four research themes of the Informatics Institute: Artificial Intelligence, Computational Science, Data Science, and Systems and Networking.
