About

Marco Ajovalasit is a Lecturer in Human Factors & Ergonomics within the School of Engineering and Design, Brunel University, West London, UK. He holds a Ph.D. degree obtained from The University of Sheffield, UK which focused on the human perception of steering wheel hand-arm vibration as perceived by the driver in automobiles. His research work has developed empirical laws governing the human perception of sound and vibration stimuli occurring at the steering wheel interface in automobiles which served as a starting point to understand how a driver’s feelings of engine roughness or unpleasantness change with changes in the chemical properties of the fuel so as to choose chemical compounds that meet and exceed customer expectations.

His research interests include perception enhancement systems, sensory evaluation techniques and multisensory perception in human-product interactions. Particular emphasis is placed on the measurement of human subjective response to hearing and tactile sensory stimuli so as to understand the key stimulus parameters which are perceptually and emotionally meaningful to the user.

He performs research with the Perception Enhancement Systems (PES) Research Group at Brunel Design which focuses on methods for designing the sensory stimuli of products, systems and services for purposes of meaning, interaction and emotion.
