Biography
Dr Klaire Somoray (they/she) is a lecturer in the School of Psychology at the College of Healthcare Sciences. They completed their PhD in 2019 at Queensland University of Technology, within the Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety Queensland (CARRS-Q).
Dr Somoray's research investigates the intricate relationship between humans and technology. Their work examines how technological innovations shape our daily lives and behaviour patterns through an interdisciplinary lens, combining psychology and human factors. Their research program is structured around two inter-connected areas:
1. Technology and Society: This research area focuses on the societal impacts of technology, big data, and AI on people’s well-being, mental health and safety.
2. Technology and Physical safety: Drawing from their background in road safety, Dr Somoray explores the intersection of transportation and emerging technologies. This research focuses on developing human-centred digital interventions to elevate the potential benefits and reduce the risks associated with innovations such as autonomous vehicles and personal mobility devices (e.g., e-scooters).
