Robin Hill
Robin Hill is the Senior Laboratory Manager for the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh. He works on understanding the cognitive aspects of information processing with the aim of improving usability and accessibility. This encompasses investigating how people interact with audio-visual stimuli, whether through mainstream broadcasts, social media, or directly in face-to-face communication and dialogue, combined with their use of different technologies.
Robin also strives to emphasise the importance of considering and accommodating the human user when designing technology. He uses advanced technology in his experiments on human behaviour, language and perception to monitor psycho- and bio-physical reactions, such as eye-tracking, electroencephalography (EEG) and heart rate. Most of his teaching and research revolves around multidisciplinary themes, and at Edinburgh he is formally affiliated with Design Informatics; Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation; Neuropolitics Research Labs; Edinburgh Neuroscience; Digital Influence and Intelligence Lab; Experiential AI; and the Media & Communications Research Cluster.
Currently Robin is a Work Package Leader for an EU Horizon 2020 project on Machine Translation and has an RCUK grant on human-like computing and explainable artificial intelligence (XAI).
