Antony William Joseph

Antony William Joseph is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Design at Aalto University, Finland, affiliated with the Encore research group. His work bridges human-centered design and practical applications in maritime autonomy and aging technology, utilizing eye-tracking methodologies to address real-world interaction challenges.

His research focuses on Human-Computer Interaction and User Experience Design, with specialized expertise in Maritime Human Factors for autonomous vessels and Assistive Technology for elderly populations. Key methodologies include participatory design frameworks and eye-tracking analysis of cognitive load, applied to sustainable voyage planning and age-inclusive mobile interfaces.

Recent publications (2023-2024) demonstrate a strategic pivot toward maritime autonomous systems, developing user requirement frameworks for multivessel status monitoring and sustainable voyage planning. Earlier work (2018-2021) established foundational contributions in aging technology through eye-tracking studies of senior citizens' mobile application usage in India and cognitive load modeling.

Scientific recognition includes:

• Distinguished Paper Award at ICoRD 2021 for aging/eye-tracking research

Dr. Joseph actively collaborates within Aalto's interdisciplinary ecosystem, notably with Virpi Roto and Vivian Stolt on maritime projects. His current work emphasizes integrating human factors into autonomous shipping systems while maintaining continuity with aging technology research through the Encore group's human-centered design philosophy.
