Ann Blandford FHEA is Professor of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) at University College London (UCL). [3] [1] [4] She serves as deputy director of the UCL Institute of Healthcare Engineering. [5] Her research focuses on behaviour change, well-being, and human errors in the field of healthcare. [6] [7]
Blandford graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in mathematics from the University of Cambridge. She worked as a software engineer before pursuing a PhD in artificial intelligence (AI) and education at the Open University supervised by Eileen Scanlon and Mark Elsom-Cook. [2] [7]
Blandford previously served as professor at the interaction design centre at Middlesex University from 1995 to 2001.[ citation needed]
Blandford has served as professor in human-computer interaction at UCL since 2002, where her research has involved studies of serendipity, leading to a proposal for a new definition of the phenomenon. [8] With Stephann Makri she worked to further refine their classification of "serendipitous occurrences". [9] Her current[ when?] work covers HCI research in digital health, including challenges of interdisciplinarity. [10]
In 2016, Blandford became one of the first 12 women to receive a Suffrage Science award for contributions to the field of maths and computing. [11]
