Phil is also Visiting Professor at Luleå University of Technology – Psychology, Division of Health, Medicine & Rehabilitation, Sweden
Phil is UK PI on an ESRC-JST project (2020-24) (with collaborators at e.g., Universities of Kyoto and Osaka) on the Rule of Law in the Age of AI and autonomous systems with a key focus on blame assignment and trust in autonomous vehicles – exploring Human-Robot Interaction and Explainable AI (XAI) as core interventions. He also works on two projects funded by the NCSC focussed on interruptions effects on cyber security behaviours and a project funded via R-Cloud. Phil currently supervises nine PhD students. Other recent projects have been funded by e.g. HSSRC on topics such as developing Human Factors guidelines for Robots and Autonomous Systems (RAS).
Phil overseas the IROHMS Simulation Laboratory based within the School of Psychology at Cardiff University that currently comprises five state-of the art zones: immersive dome; transport simulator; cognitive robotics; VR/AR; and a command and control centre.
