Hi all,
Please share this PhD opportunity with potential candidates.
We are looking for a motivated PhD student to join our research team at
Birmingham City University (UK). The PhD candidate should demonstrate
interest in Human-Computer Interaction, Computational Interaction and
Ageing & Accessibility Research.
The goal of the research project is to explore new ways to design mobile
interfaces adapting to individual differences among task performing
abilities of older adults with stages of dementia with the aim of
supporting them to live more inclusively within society. Good programming
and writing skills are desirable.
