Research interests
Dr Elton specialises in Human Centred Design research. Since 2002, he has worked as a Researcher and Senior Lecturer in Higher Education. Over this period, his research work has focussed on:
- Inclusive Design/Designing for an ageing population,
- Design Education
- Design principles and approaches
- Cognitive Ergonomics
- Developing safety critical systems
Whilst the areas of application differ, there is a common underlying principle that underpins all of his research work: to optimise design for human use.
To date, Dr Elton has worked with world leading research institutes, such as, the University of Cambridge and the Royal College of Art on a range of EPSRC funded grants; conducted extensive studies for governmental bodies, such as, the Department for Transport and the Health & Safety Executive; and worked with both large and small commercial organisations on focussed research projects.
