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.[1]

In 2003, Chignell founded Vocalage Inc.,[2] a company that does usability consulting, outsourced research, and software development.
