I am a human factors scientist at Exponent, where I use my understanding of human cognition to evaluate perceptual and decision-making issues that contribute to accidents. I have extensive experience in assessing visibility and conspicuity issues, and apply this knowledge to a wide array of contexts such as automobiles, pedestrians, motorcycles, bicycles/scooters, and tractor-trailers. I perform general assessments of roadway environments that include analyses of lighting, glare and sightline evaluations as they may relate to vehicle accidents, slip/trip-and-fall incidents, and other premises liability claims. I am also continuously involved in research on various topics in human factors, including driver looking behavior, perception of roadway hazards, divided attention, and witness memory of events. I also work on projects assessing the role of warnings and instructions in various accidents scenarios for both products and premises, and regularly combine my knowledge of human behavior with my OSHA training to evaluate how the behavior of individuals may contribute to industrial and occupational accidents.Additionally, I have experience overseeing projects employing various methodologies (human-subjects testing, inclusive literature reviews, quantitative injury and risk analyses), and have experience coordinating and carrying out large-scale usability testing of consumer products. I am also capable of combining this experience with customized programming methods that leverage online platforms for various applications, including questionnaire surveys, experimental studies, and comprehension testing.
