Mark H. Chignell is a Canadian academic specialising in usability and information science, and as of 2019 is a full professor at the University of Toronto.

Academic career

He has a PhD in psychology (University of Canterbury, New Zealand, 1981), and an MS in Industrial and Systems Engineering (Ohio State, 1984).

After a 1980 PhD titled 'Cognitive mechanisms of categorisation' at the University of Canterbury, Chignell moved to the University of Toronto, rising to full professor.

In 2003, Chignell founded Vocalage Inc., a company that does usability consulting, outsourced research, and software development.

He participated in a 2003 experiment which gave doctors online access to medical databases through a handheld iPAQ PC, which led to changes in the decisions the doctors made.

Chignell was the general chair of ACM Hypertext 2010.
