Technological progress is important for our world, but ensuring that it is translated into products and services that benefit humanity is at least as important.
In the research subject Human-Technology-Design, the goal is to develop knowledge about the relationship between human beings and technical products/systems. As a doctoral student, you will also develop methods and tools for studying the relationship between humans and technical products and systems. By doing a doctorate in human-technology-design, you will learn to support the design process in designing and evaluating sustainable and safe products, services, and workplaces.

The graduate school is common to the Department of Industrial and Materials Science and the Department of Computer Science and Engineering
