People and Technology

Driven by the School of Applied Psychology PATLab

The People and Technology (PAT) research group is a collection of researchers interested in understanding, designing, and evaluating digital technologies through psychological and socio-scientific sensitivities.

The group is committed to experience-centred, participatory approaches to the design of digital technology.
