Gulsen Tore Yargin serves as Senior Lecturer in Design and Innovation Strategy at Brunel Design School within Brunel University London's College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences. Previously, she held Assistant Professor of Industrial Design position at Middle East Technical University where she directed the METU/BILTIR-UTEST Product Usability Unit. Her academic journey includes postdoctoral research at University of Cambridge Engineering Design Centre following a PhD focused on user research communication methodologies.
- PhD: Effective Communication of User Research Findings (University of Cambridge postdoctoral work)
- Postdoc: Engineering Design Centre, University of Cambridge
- Assistant Professor: Middle East Technical University (Industrial Design)
Dr. Tore Yargin's research spans human-centered design in emerging technologies with emphasis on UX research methods, conversational agents, sensor-based innovations, and wellbeing design. Her work bridges academic theory with industry applications across white goods, home electronics, automotive, and defense sectors. Recent publications demonstrate methodological innovation in remote research during crises, animal-computer interaction, and voice interface design for diverse populations.
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals strong interdisciplinary trends connecting design theory with psychology, animal behavior, and public health. Key thematic clusters include pandemic-adapted research methodologies (2020-2023), animal laterality studies (2023-2024), and conversational agent design for elderly populations (2023). Her work consistently applies human-centered principles to novel contexts while developing new measurement frameworks.

Dr. Tore Yargin has secured multiple research grants including TÜBİTAK-funded projects on remote UX research during COVID-19 and canine stress behavior analysis, plus industry collaborations with Arcelik-Beko on voice interfaces. Her co-author network spans veterinary science, psychology, and design fields including Dr. Dominik Havsteen-Franklin and Dr. Cristina Asenjo Palma. Current projects focus on technology-mediated human-canine interactions and remote research methodologies.
Her research operates through interdisciplinary collaborations rather than dedicated physical labs, with emphasis on field-based studies in domestic and public settings. Current work explores canine wellbeing through non-invasive measurement techniques and voice interface adoption in emerging markets.
