Biography

Dr David R. Large is a Senior Research Fellow with the Human Factors Research Group at the University of Nottingham. David studied Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at Durham University and worked as a production manager within the food industry for almost 10 years. Returning to academia in 2007, David completed an MSc in Information Technology, followed by a PhD in Human Factors awarded in 2013 (both at the University of Nottingham).

As a post-doctoral researcher, David has been involved in a broad range of industry, UK and Internationally funded projects primarily concerning the design, evaluation and acceptance of novel and emerging in-vehicle human-machine interfaces (HMIs) and systems for both road and rail transport. Since gaining his PhD in 2013, David has authored over 90 peer-reviewed publications in International journals and conference proceedings, and received 5 Best Paper awards and nominations.

David is particularly interested in 'natural' methods of interaction (spoken language, gestures etc.) and the application and appropriation of anthropomorphism in technology design.

Expertise Summary

David excels in driver behaviour and performance measurement, practising a range of techniques, such as driving simulation, visual occlusion, eye-tracking and the collection of subjective and physiological measures to understand driver distraction, trust, acceptance etc. associated with vehicle-based technology and systems. He holds significant experience and expertise in novel, experimental design and collecting/interpreting eye-tracking data.
