Academic Achievements
- Involved in research projects funded by EPSRC, Wellcome Trust, and the EU; published research works on platforms like Google Scholar, ResearchGate; collaborates with and acts as a scientific advisor for several companies.
Research Experience
- Joined the University of Leeds in 2015 to further expand this research. Since then, has worked as a principal investigator and co-investigator on projects funded by EPSRC, the Wellcome Trust, and the EU, such as how multisensory integration in driving simulators affects drivers' vehicle control, takeover from semi-automated vehicles, brain mechanisms behind collision threat detection and steering, and how pedestrians and drivers interact to resolve space-sharing conflicts.
Education
- PhD: Mathematical modeling of driver behavior for virtual testing of automotive safety systems (specific institution not mentioned); other educational background not provided.
Background
- Trained as an engineer, applying quantitative methods and models to the study of human behavior and cognition in road traffic. Over a decade of experience in the automotive industry (Volvo) as a systems engineer, project manager, and technical specialist, working on R&D projects related to driving safety, driver distraction, human-machine interfaces, and general driver behavior. Completed a PhD on mathematical modeling of driver behavior for virtual testing of automotive safety systems.
