- Profile
-
Professor Emma Norling is Professor of Engineering Education and Director of Education in the School of Computer Science. She obtained BEng (Hons) from the University of Melbourne, followed by a PhD at the same institution. She undertook a range of teaching activities there during this period.
She moved to the UK to complete post-doctoral studies, and has settled here permanently. Her passion is educational design and delivery.
- Research interests
-
Dr Norling’s research interests are centred around agent-based systems, particularly agent-based modelling of human behaviour, from cognitive modelling to social simulation. She is particularly interested in social intelligence (the “intuitive” skills that humans use to facilitate social interactions) and how it might be incorporated into computational models, both in the context of improving models of human behaviour, and also in designing better computational and robotic interfaces.
