Technology, biology, users and safety

Craig Webster has a BSc in psychology, and an MSc(1st class Hons) in neuropsychology from the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand, and a PhD from the University of Auckland, New Zealand. Craig is a Research Fellow with the Department of Anaesthesiology, at the Auckland University School of Medicine, and in 2001 was awarded a prestigious three-year Fellowship with the Health Research Council of New Zealand in support of his research. Craig's research interests include how to better design technology to suit the minds of users and to increase safety, the nature of the increasingly fuzzy line between technology and biology, and the application of biological principles to technological design problems. In 2004 Craig formed The Compucology Project to further explore aspects of these research areas related to computers, software and robotics.
