My research in perception, performance, mental workload, and preference is built on the hypothesis that the integration of new technologies into dynamic environments has long-term implications on human performance and safety that are both positive and negative. Additionally, individual trust plays a critical role in new technology acceptance and large-scale adoption. My work has application in a variety of dynamic and safety-critical settings such as the automotive and healthcare industries.
Research Interests: Novel displays’ impact on performance/perception- Dynamic, safety-critical, and complex systems- Technology trust and acceptance- Human subjects experiments, experimental design, statistics
Our work studies the interaction between people, the environment, and the task they are completing. We are especially interested in learning how the introduction of new technology may change perception or behaviors, and how we can use this information to better design these technologies.
In the Human Centered Engineering Lab, we research a variety of topics, with current projects spanning the following topics:
- Driving in Critical Environments
- Virtual & Augmented Reality
- The Future of Healthcare
- Human Factors in Industry 4.0
- Motion capture & the arts
