Francisco Rebelo is an Associate Professor at Faculdade de Arquitetura, Universidade de Lisboa, and the founder-director of ergoUX — Ergonomics & User Experience Laboratory, a research group integrated in CIAUD and the Interactive Technologies Institute (ITI-LARSyS). Rebelo earned his PhD in Ergonomics – Human-Centered Design in 1996 after earlier studies in ergonomics and later obtained his Agregação (habilitation) in Ergonomic Design from this same university. He has taught interaction design, product ergonomics, usability, and game design for nearly three decades and has supervised numerous master’s and doctoral theses. Rebelo’s research combines ergonomics, neuroscience, and emerging technologies, particularly to measure and enhance human performance, safety, health, and enjoyment in the built environment and digital systems. He is an author and editor: co-editor of the CRC Press volume Ergonomics in Design: Methods & Techniques (2017) and series editor of Springer’s annual Advances in Ergonomics in Design proceedings for the AHFE conferences. Internationally, he serves on editorial boards in human-factors journals and appears regularly as a keynote speaker and programmer committee member, most recently at ACM ISS 2023, where he addressed usability issues in seamless multimodal interaction design. Rebelo’s work continues to advance user-centered design methodologies that “make people’s lives fun, healthy, safe”.
