Design Engineering: linking design thinking and engineering thinking

Dr Jamie Mackrill is a Lecturer in the Faculty of Engineering at the Dyson School of Design Engineering, Imperial College London. Jamie's research interests concern how people experience and interact with their surroundings, and how this understanding can be used to improve wellbeing, health, productivity and safety through environment, product or service design. This curiosity grew out of his background in human factors, understanding the human aspects to work, environments and systems along with his award winning PhD exploring hospital soundscapes. He currently applies this thinking to healthcare environment design specifically focusing on soundscapes, product design, infection prevention in healthcare and SME business applications. Additional research experience include examining energy control devices and behaviour change methodologies.
