Yvonne Rogers is a Professor of Interaction Design and Director of the UCL Interaction Centre (UCLIC), with a joint appointment as Deputy Head of the Department of Computer Science at University College London. She joined UCL in 2011 after holding professorships at the Open University (2006-2011) and Indiana University (2003-2006). Her pioneering work spans ubiquitous computing, interaction design, and human-computer interaction, with a current focus on human-centered AI. She co-authored the definitive 'Interaction Design' textbook (6 editions, 300,000+ copies) and serves as CTO of LetThink.com.
Research interests center on designing technologies that enhance human cognition and daily activities:
- Ubiquitous Computing: Augmenting learning/work activities through pervasive technologies
- Human-AI Interaction: Developing AI systems that enhance human decision-making
- Health Technologies: Creating VR therapies and ADHD support systems
- Community Resilience: Designing tools for environmental monitoring and sustainable practices
Publication analysis reveals three dominant trends: (1) VR applications for mental health (emotion regulation, ADHD support), (2) AI systems for cognitive augmentation, and (3) community-centered tools for healthcare/environmental challenges. Recent work demonstrates strong emphasis on vulnerable populations including children with ADHD, older adults, and postoperative patients.
Major scientific recognition includes:
- International Member, National Academy of Engineering (2024)
