Research Group Leader
Claudia Mont'Alvão, D.Sc.
Human Factors & Ergonomics Researcher
Since the 1990s, I've been researching Human Factors & Ergonomics, initially focusing on transport systems and information in the traffic environment. As a Product Designer - and from the perspective of usability and considering User Experience (UX) and User-Centered Design (UCD) - this approach led me to a broader vision. I can say I've seen many changes in our way of living, consumption, experience. Now I'm dedicated to investigating HF/E in our daily lives, bringing us a quality of life, as defined by WHO. What motivates me is to understand how users feel, engage when using information or device, walk around the cities, or get oriented in the space. And I'm still dreaming of an ideal world configured by systems and environments really accessible.
