Henrikke Dybvik
I’m a Research Associate at the DMF lab, School of Electrical, Electronic and Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Science and Engineering, University of Bristol.
Research
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. 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.
As a part of the 21st Century Prototyping project, I am currently focusing on establishing the affordances of mixed reality prototyping and how it differs from physical and digital prototyping.
Short CV
I obtained my PhD June 26th, 2023 . I was 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. Before that I obtained an M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from NTNU. During my masters I was an Erasmus Exchange Student at the Danish Technical University (DTU), and I also studied entrepreneurship at the University of California Berkeley (UCB) and University of Oslo (UiO) via The Norwegian School of Entrepreneurship. Before that I studied math for a year through a One-Year Program in Mathematical Sciences at NTNU.

Smart Human Centred Design
The DMF lab are excited to be embarking on research in the new application area of Smart human-centred design. Work in this area seeks to couple physiological and neuroscientific measures with monitoring of designers in order to enable optimisation of the performance of individual designers and design teams. Engineering projects are complex, often time […]
DMF lab hosts Dr Tripp Shealy for invited talk on Design Cognition
In November the DMF lab hosted Dr Tripp Shealy – an associate Professor from Virginia Tech currently undertaking a visiting position at the University of Strathclyde. The visit gave us the opportunity to hear an invited talk by Tripp and also discuss potential collaboration opportunities, especially around the design cognition work that the DMF lab […]
Visit to University of Strathclyde to present the Physical Digital Affordance Index
In late November I travelled up to the University of Strathclyde to give a talk on the Physical Digital Affordance Index – a project I’m currently working on in collaboration with the Digital Catapult. In addition to giving the talk, the purpose of the visit was to connect up with other design researchers at the […]
The physical-digital affordance index @ cross-catapult design event
In Spring 2023 I found out that I was successful in my application to the Researcher in Residence programme to develop the Physical-Digital Affordance Index (PDAI) in collaboration with the Digital Catapult (DC). As technology develops, we are increasing moving many aspects of our lives, both design specifically and more generally, into the digital realm […]
