Esther Bosch is a Human Factors researcher at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) especially interested in driver emotion recognition. She studied Neural and Behavioral Sciences at the Max Planck Graduate Training Centre of Neuroscience in Tuebingen, Germany. In her previous research, she investigated on takeover time from highly automated to manual driving at Robert Bosch GmbH.
Michael Oehl is a senior Human Factors researcher at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and a senior lecturer for Traffic Psychology at the German Police University. His research focuses on emotions in traffic and emotional interfaces in Human-Machine Interaction.
Myounghoon "Philart" Jeon is Associate Professor in the Grado Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Virginia Tech. Previously, he was faculty of Cognitive Science and Computer Science at Michigan Tech. His research on AutoUI includes affect, auditory interaction, and accessibility. He has recently published a book, “Emotions and Affect in Human Factors and Human-Computer Interaction.”
Ignacio Alvarez is Research Scientist at Intel Labs, USA. He obtained his PhD in Computer Science at University of the Basque Country, Spain. His background is in Human Computer Interaction. His research interest is on automated driving systems, intelligent transportation and the practical application of cognitive sciences to affective computing and ADAS.
Jennifer Healey is a Senior Research Scientist at Intel Labs, USA. She obtained her B.S., M.S, and PhD form MIT in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Her paper on Detecting Driver Stress won the IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems 10 year impact award and her TED talk on “If Cars Could Talk” received over 800,000 views. Her research is focused on multi-modal emotion recognition.
Wendy Ju is an Assistant Professor of Information Science at Cornell Tech in New York City. She was formerly the Executive Director of Interaction Design Research at the Center for Design Research at Stanford University. Her research focuses on interaction design in the realms of everyday robotics, autonomous vehicles, and interactive spaces. She is a graduate of the Center for Design Research at Stanford University, and the founder of Ambidextrous Magazine, Stanford University’s Journal of Design. Wendy has taught Interactive Device Design in Stanford’s Electrical Engineering Department, as well as Physical Interaction Design at Stanford’s Center for Computer Research on Music and Acoustics.
Christophe Jallais is a senior Researcher at IFSTTAR, in Lyon, France, since November 2007. During his thesis, he studied the impact of emotions on cognition and the efficiency of the mood induction procedures. His research interests concern now 1) the impact of emotions on visuo-attentional processes and driving behavior, 2) the identification of drivers’ internal states using physiological measures, 3) interactions between ADAS and drivers’ emotions.
