The Socio-Technical Systems group aims to conduct human-centred, often interdisciplinary research in real-life software systems. The group was formed recently, bringing together HCI, Software Engineering and Distributed Software experts. We are looking for enthusiastic academics that conduct practice-oriented, often collaborative, research, with a good eye for identifying, articulating and addressing the key research questions in the field. Collaborations with efforts in digital twins, smart cities, energy systems, human-robot interaction and trustworthy AI, are high on our agenda.
