Research Vision: Contributing foundational research that enables physical AI systems to work with humans, not simply around them.
Main Research Question: How can we model humans-physical AI system interactions under unreliable and safety-critical situations?
Methodology & Research Goal: By computationally modeling human behavior and cognitive states, I aim to enhance safety and optimize human–physical AI system performance.
Research Framework
1. Human Behavior and Cognitive States Characterization (Post-Event)
General RQ: How do humans behave in specific scenarios following a critical event?
Methodology: Traditional statistical modeling and inferential analysis
Application: Understanding human characteristics and limitations; suggesting system design guidelines

2. Real-Time Human Assistance & Intervention (In the Moment)
General RQ: How can adaptive assistance be provided by analyzing humans’ real-time multimodal data, including driving performance, eye-tracking, and physiological signals?
Methodology: Real-time data communication (TCP/IP, UDP), online computation (Python, MATLAB), and multimodal intervention delivery (visual, auditory, or haptic feedback)
Application: Enhancing (driving) safety; developing real-time intervention strategies
