Biography
I published the first edition of my textbook, Introduction to Ergonomics when I was heading the Ergonomics Group at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Cape Town. After 15 years in academia, I returned to the UK and took up my present position while continuing to write and teach in my spare time. I maintain a strong interest in ergonomics education and recently published an article on education in the magazine Ergonomics in Design.Education
