Beate Grawemeyer

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Bath and a member of the Human Computer Interaction group. I work with Dr Hilary Johnson, and I am currently researching intelligent tutoring systems for children with autism spectrum disorder.

My research interests include:

  • user / cognitive modelling
  • categorisations
  • task analysis
  • intelligent user interfaces
  • individual differences
I am particularly interested in technology that supports individuals in their interactions with tasks and external representations.
