Camilla Grane serves as a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Luleå University of Technology, where she is affiliated with the Department of Health, Education and Technology and specifically works within the Division of Health, Medicine and Rehabilitation. In addition to her teaching responsibilities, she holds the position of deputy head of education for the Department of Health, Medicine, and Rehabilitation (HMR).
Dr. Grane holds a Master of Science degree in Ergonomic Design and Production and earned her PhD in Engineering Psychology. Her educational background has prepared her for interdisciplinary work at the intersection of psychology, engineering, and human factors, focusing on the practical application of psychological principles to real-world technological challenges.
Her research centers on human-machine interaction and psychosocial factors, with notable expertise in attention and distraction when using multimodal interfaces in vehicles. She has expanded her research scope to include workers' digital tools and wearable sensors in mining and process industries, examining critical aspects such as usability, efficiency, safety, acceptance, and privacy. Dr. Grane is particularly interested in how ongoing digital development creates new relationships between humans and technology, with emerging interests in generative AI and human-robot interaction as research areas.
Her publication record demonstrates a strong focus on automotive human factors, with numerous studies on gear shifter usability, human-automation interaction, and safety in industrial contexts. Her work spans multiple disciplines including psychology, engineering, ergonomics, and industrial safety, reflecting her interdisciplinary approach to understanding human-technology interactions across different environments.
Dr. Grane teaches across multiple academic programs including the Psychology Bachelor's program and the Master of Science program in Industrial Design Engineering. Her extensive teaching portfolio covers Introduction to Psychology, Engineering Psychology, Social Psychology: Psychological Perspectives, Work and Motivation Psychology, Human-Machine Interaction, Usability, and Ergonomics and Cognition, among other specialized courses.
She has led and participated in several significant research projects including 'Working environment of control room operators' (Swedish Transport Administration), 'SIMS' (attitudes towards positioning technology in mining environments), 'Quicktag' (mobile applications for inspections at Boliden), 'The Future Operator' (digital tools for future operators at LKAB and Boliden), 'MODAS' (measuring trust in highly automated vehicles), and 'Life on Board' (usability of future gear selectors in vehicles).
