Dr. Genovefa Kefalidou is an Assistant Professor (Lecturer) in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) at the University of Leicester's School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences. She also serves as the School’s Director of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI), Academic Lead for Early Career Researchers (ECRs) within the College of Science and Engineering, Ethics Officer, and member of the University's Research Integrity Working Group. Her work bridges computer science, cognitive psychology, and human factors engineering.
Educated in a multidisciplinary background, she holds a PhD focusing on cognitive processes applied to Vehicle Routing Problems (VRPs), developing interactive tools to enhance computational algorithms like Tabu search. Postdoctoral research at the University of Nottingham’s Horizon Digital Economy Research explored HCI, user-centred design, and ubiquitous computing using mixed-methods approaches.
Her research interests include HCI methodologies, participatory design, user experience optimization, and cognitive-inspired interactive systems. She has contributed to advancing human-centred technologies in logistics optimization and digital economy research.
While no specific articles are listed, her work emphasizes interdisciplinary applications of HCI in real-world problems. Awards or grants are not explicitly mentioned in the profile. She actively supervises students (no names provided) and advocates for ethical research practices through her roles in ethics committees.
