Applications are invited for a PhD studentship on formal reasoning about human-computer interaction for the design and safe use of interactive medical devices as part of the CHI+MED (www.chi-med.ac.uk) project. Based at the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science at Queen Mary, University of London, the successful candidate will be part of the internationally leading Theory and Interaction, Media and Communication (IMC) research groups as well as the CHI+MED team.

CHI+MED is a major EPSRC funded multidisciplinary research project that brings together researchers from Queen Mary, University of London, UCL, Swansea University, and City University. It aims to improve the usability and safety of interactive medical devices. This is a pressing area for research because even simple errors can result in incorrect treatment, or patient death. (more…)
