The intern will investigate methods, techniques and technologies that can be used to […]

CA Technology wants to design the right software products well. Their user interaction designers recently began interviewing end users in their workplace and developing archetypal descriptions of typical users called ‘personas’. The good thing about personas is that they encourage designers to take a people-first perspective, which is great most of the time. But, sometimes […]

Alternative fuels and energy resources play a key role in both the short and long term sustainable development of transportation. Ammonia (NH3) is the only carbon-free chemical energy carrier (other than hydrogen) suitable for use as a transportation fuel. NH3 can be produced using either fossil fuels, or any renewable energy source, using heat and/or […]

The present study explores how concretely or abstractly individuals imagine objects and events in different situations, which we call “construal levels”. Previous theory proposes that we construct our environment more abstractly the more distant it is, for example when we think of eating food this morning, it might be concrete such as “eggs and toast”, […]
