معرفی
Dr Martin Stacey is a Senior Lecturer at De Montfort University's Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Media, where he works within the School of Computer Science and Informatics. His interdisciplinary background combines psychology and artificial intelligence to inform both teaching and research activities focused on human-computer interaction and information design.
His educational background includes a BA in Experimental Psychology from the University of Oxford, an MS in Psychology from Carnegie-Mellon University, and a PhD in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Aberdeen. His research spans cognitive science, design methodology, and human factors engineering.
Stacey's research interests center on design thinking, design processes, and human-design tool interaction. His work examines how designers use representations of information, factors influencing problem structuring, causal modeling of design processes, and the role of object references in design. His interdisciplinary approach integrates psychology, sociology, AI, and philosophy to compare design processes across industries.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent focus on the epistemology of design processes, with increasing attention to method ecosystems, knowledge representation in engineering, and the philosophical foundations of design. His work bridges theoretical design research with practical applications in biomedical engineering, digital governance, and stress monitoring systems.
As an academic supervisor, he currently advises PhD student Yee Mei Lim. His professional service includes membership on the Advisory Board for Design Computing and Cognition conferences (2006-2014) and extensive peer review activities for leading design and engineering journals.
