Professor Andree Woodcock is Chair of Educational Ergonomics and Design, Future Transport and Cities Research Institute at Coventry University in England. Driving Andree's research is the belief that applying systems-thinking and user-centred design principles drawn from ergonomics and design research can be applied to, and solve many of the societal grand challenges we face today. In this, the key for greater inclusion and recognition of the needs and contributions of all sectors of society is paramount. This requires the development and application of inclusive methods to understand these needs, in depth understanding of real people in their everyday context, and a willingness on the part of stakeholders (such as designers, municipalities and agencies) to use this information in the application and development of inclusive approaches, systems and products.
Andree's PhD concerned an investigation of the use of ergonomics in automotive concept design acquired from Loughborough University while a Daphne Jackson Research Fellow. Most of her research has been located within design departments, looking at applying user-centred design to wicked problems in the areas of health, education, regeneration and transportation. Specifically; looking at the in car safety and security of female car occupants.
