Supervision
One of the great pleasures of academia is working closely with students; both the student and the supervisor learn from each other. I am in the process of submitting a grant (or two) that could accommodate exceptionally good candidate in fully-funded PhD student positions. I am also happy to support a student-led proposals for grants either at UmU's Grad. School or WASP.
Available Projects

This work is a continuation of Wilson & Theodorou 2019. It will involve the development of a VR simulator and running of relevant experiments.
BSc / BA
Graphical display of hierarchical norms
HCI, UX, HCI, systems AI, transparency
Using Value-Sensitive Design, one can break high-level abstract socio-ethical values into concrete norms by producing a hierarchy of norms. This project looks into such a hierarchy can be effectively visualised. Ambitious students can look into extending this work by introducing provisions for real-time transparency of normative agents.
