Dr Andrew Errity
I head the Department of Technology + Psychology, a vibrant department offering undergraduate programmes in disciplines such as Creative Computing, Interaction and User Experience Design, and Applied Psychology; and postgraduate programmes in Cyberpsychology and User Experience Design.
I teach and supervise students with a focus on software development and user experience design. My research interests include various aspects of human-computer interaction, particularly spoken language.

Research
I have conducted academic research in areas including speech recognition/synthesis, machine learning and human-computer interaction. I have also consulted with a number of industry partners on research projects with practical real-world applications. These projects focused on software development, data visualisation and human-computer interaction.
