Early life

edit

She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from University of Wales in 1982, Master of Science degree ergonomics from University College London in 1983, and PhD in human-computer interaction from University of Wales in 1988.[3]

Career and research

edit

Rogers served as a professor of school of Cognitive and Computing Sciences at Sussex University from 1992 to 2003, Professor in Informatics from 2003 to 2006 at Indiana University, and Professor of HCI at Open University from 2006 to 2011. She is professor and director of The University College London Interaction Centre at University College London.[2] She was Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator of over 30 research grants from EPSRC, ESRC, AHRC, EU and NIH.[4] She is known for her work on iconic interface to human-centre AI and a research agenda of user engagement in ubiquitous computing.[5]

Rogers was a principal investigator for the ICRI project in collaboration with Intel.[4] She led projects such as Visualising Mill Road, where they collected community data and visualized it as street art, and the Tidy Street project, visualising energy usage and efficiency from power meters.[6][7] From 2000 to 2007, Rogers contributed to the UK Equator Project as a principal investigator, researching the relationship between physical and digital user experiences. One of the projects was "Ambient Wood", encouraging children to explore biological processes in a forest using wireless probes.[2]

Rogers worked on a project using ambient light to nudge people to take the stairs rather than the elevator. She worked on the Lambent Shopping Trolly Project, building a lambent display that clips onto any shopping trolley to nudge buying decisions.[8] Rogers worked on an augmented reality (AR) project to "try on" makeup and see how this AR influences buying decisions.[9]
