Sotiria Drivalou is a PhD
candidate at the Ergonomics Unit of the
School of Mechanical Engineering, at the National Technical University
of Athens. She holds a degree in Industrial Engineering from the
Technical University of Crete. Her diploma thesis was carried out in
the expert systems domain, where she studied the effectiveness of
inductive machine leaning techniques for assisting medical diagnosis of
cephalalgia.
Sotiria is currently preparing her doctoral thesis in the field of
cognitive systems engineering. The thesis attempts to meet the
theoretical and pragmatic challenges that emerge from the application
of Ecological Interface Design to complex socio-technical systems, like
the electricity distribution systems. Sotiria's scientific interests
include interdisciplinary systems engineering, field study methods,
theories of cognition and collaboration for distributed decision making
environments, macroergonomics, cognitive work analysis for systems
design and development, and participatory design. Research interests
focus on information systems engineering and on work tools design for
complex socio-technical systems. Related interests concern physical,
cognitive, aesthetic and contextual aspects of product design, as well
as innovative product design from recycled and reused materials.
