Patrick Langdon is an experimental psychologist who has contributed to cognitive science, artificial intelligence, robotics, and psychophysics. Now at the Cambridge University Engineering Design Centre, his most recent research has been in inclusive user-centred design, interaction design, prior experience, and multimodal interface profiling from cognitive modelling. Dr. Langdon was primary author and co-investigator of the successful EPSRC EQUAL "i~design 3" consortium project; "Extending Active Living Through More Effective Inclusive Design" (2006-2011), which he also managed. He was invited to join phase 2 of the (EPSRC/DST) India-UK Advanced Technology Centre, a centre of excellence for next generation network systems and services, where, with a team of recruited research associates, he has built on recent success developing UI technology to support adaptive user interfaces that are accessible to the wider range of users, having impact in both the UK and India. Pat Langdon recently Co-PI of a number of EPSRC and industry funded projects, all concerned with user-centred design for new human-machine interfaces, in the application areas of automotive, aerospace, and wireless communications in emergencies. He is currently Professor of Engineering Design, Transportation, and Inclusion at Edinburgh Napier University and head of the Transport Research Institute in the School of Engineering and the Built Environment.
