Fredrick Ekman

Postdoc at Design & Human Factors

Fredrick Ekman, MSc in Industrial Design Engineering and a PhD in Human-Technology-Design, works as a post-doctoral researcher at the Division for Design and Human Factors. In his work, Fredrick Ekman studies users’ interaction with technology with the purpose of investigating, for example, how users experience, understand, trust, and accept technology. He also investigates products’ and solutions’ usability and ergonomics, both cognitive and physical, to design technology that actually meets users’ needs. Finally, interviews, questionnaires, and observations are examples of methods often used in a mixed fashion, i.e., mixed-method research, to understand these often complex issues.
