Mark Colley

Mark Colley is a scholar specializing in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and automated transportation systems, currently serving as a lecturer/assistant professor at University College London (UCL). His research focuses on trust calibration in highly automated vehicles, the design and evaluation of external human-machine interfaces (eHMI), and improving accessibility in urban (aerial) transportation systems. His doctoral dissertation, titled “Calibrating Trust in Automated Vehicles: Theory, Design, and Empirical Investigations into Visualization,” explored the impact of visualizations on trust. He previously worked as a research assistant at Ulm University in Germany and as a software engineer at Airbus Defence and Space. His research emphasizes solving complex technological and societal challenges through interdisciplinary approaches, aiming to improve the safety and accessibility of transportation systems by designing and evaluating innovative interaction paradigms.
