Ayse Crossland (Eren) came to the University of Nottingham in 2009 to study her undergraduate degree in Manufacturing Engineering and Management and completed two more degrees after that at the university. Her Human Factors career started with her MSc in Human Factors followed by a PhD in Human Factors with a focus on automotive. Her PhD focused on understanding the interaction mechanisms used in achieving zero glance interactions with in-vehicle infotainment systems (IVIS). Ayse graduated with her PhD in July 2018. 

In August 2017 Ayse started working at Jaguar Land Rover as a Human Factors specialist in their Research Department. In this position she provides Human Factors support across the business and works on delivering future in-vehicle technologies. 

Kyle completed a PhD within the Human Factors Research Group. His research investigated the decision-making processes of carers and parents during missing person searches in order to suggest ways in which technology may be able to improve outcomes for vulnerable people. 

During his final year, Kyle produced and tested an application which helped small teams better co-ordinate missing person search activities. During this time, he was also heavily involved in automotive research for which Kyle and his co-authors were awarded “Best Paper” at the AutoUI19 conference. Kyle now works at MindTech, within the Institute of Mental Health at the University of Nottingham. He is involved in research related to technology use in mental health and neurodegenerative diseases.

I did my PhD in Human Factors, looking at how different types of rail passengers manage and handle disruption information. I now work for a company called Thales as a UX Designer and Human Factors Researcher.

Julie is a qualified Architect and Ergonomist. Julie completed her PhD in Human Factors at the Human Factors Research Group. Julie's research field was about human behaviour in urban spaces. During her PhD, Julie conducted behavioural analyses across different seasons in public spaces of Nottingham.

Julie evaluated how environmental factors such as wind, temperature, humidity and light are affecting the use of public spaces; and if we are able to predict human behaviour based on these variables.

Julie is now currently working as a Research Fellow at the Buildings, Energy and Environment Research Group from The University of Nottingham.  Julie is planning to keep working in projects integrating topics such as: human behaviour, sustainable cities, renewable energy, city planning and well-being.
