Welcome at the group Human-Technology Interaction of the Department of Industrial Engineering and Innovation Sciences, Eindhoven University of Technology. The main interest of our group concerns the question of how people deal and interact with technological systems, how this affects human life in positive and negative ways, and how these interactions can be optimized.

Domain

With the rapid development of modern technology and the many options it has to offer, it becomes more and more important to design technical products, systems, and environments in such a way that they are useful, useable, enjoyable, and accessible to their potential users. It is essential that, besides development of technology itself, knowledge is gained about the way users interact with modern technology. The field of user-system interaction is becoming recognized worldwide as an important research area, also at the TU/e. This interdisciplinary field, in which several TU/e departments are involved in one way or another, is the specific research domain of the subdepartment of Human-Technology Interaction.

Education

The subdepartment of Human-Technology Interaction is involved in various educational programs at bachelor-, master- and post-graduate level, an overview of which can be found on the education page.

Research

Our research program is part of the ECIS School of Innovation Sciences at Eindhoven University of Technology (ECIS). In our research program we offer an interdisciplinary approach of user-system interaction. More information on our research can be found on the research page.
