Research Interests

My research interests center on understanding individual behavior as influenced by a person's likelihood of mishaps, injuries, and crashes. Many innovations are designed to increase a person's safety by simplifying demands and tasks in safety-critical situations. However, long term use may also decrease their awareness, increase distractions, and degrade the ability to respond appropriately. Modeling this dynamic adaptive behavior is extremely fascinating and is the core of many research studies currently being conducted in this lab.
