Judy Edworthy Judy Edworthy
Role Qualifications & background Judy Edworthy is Professor of Applied Psychology. Her main area of research interest is that of the design, application and underlying theory surrounding the use of warnings in both everyday environments and specific high-workload applications. Although her primary interest is in auditory warnings and alarms, she has also carried out a number of studies on visual warnings. She serves on a number of standards committees concerned with the development of warning signals and signs, and she is also Co-Chair of Team 2 ('Noise and Communication') of the International Commission on the Biological Effects of Noise. She is Associate Editor of the journal Ergonomics. She is a member of the EPSRC's peer review college * Her three children Alex, Johnny and Helen provide more than enough entertainment to keep her occupied outside her work, although she does find time to pursue her musical talents as pianist, organist, and french horn player, where she is inolved in a number of local music groups.
