About

Hi! I’m Henrikke Dybvik. I find research extremely interesting.

I am currently a Research Associate at the School of Electrical, Electronic and Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Science and Engineering, University of Bristol. I am associated with the the Design and Manufacturing Futures Laboratory.

I obtained my PhD June 26th, 2023 while being a PhD Candidate at TrollLABs at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), and I have been a Visiting Student Researcher at Stanford University under the auspice of SCANCOR.

My research centers around engineering design and human-computer interaction (HCI) through designing and conducting experiments involving physiology sensors and neuroimaging modalities. Such experiments can be valuable for interface design, product development and product evaluation. I use fNIRS, EEG, ECG and GSR. It is multidisciplinary—at the interface of cognitive science, design, engineering and HCI. I aim to understand how to design and develop the products that most effectively solve real problems. Research on design neurocognition, creativity, cognitive activity, and engineering design will contribute insights to this end. My ultimate academic goal is to reverse-engineer the design process of the very best technological solutions through the interface of neuroscience, engineering, and experimental research. I believe this research will contribute to developing better solutions serving the current needs of the planet.
