Across transport, aviation and defence sectors, I address questions like how can we detect a driver’s mental workload, drowsiness, or distraction in real-time using eye-tracking? Can we predict when a pilot or air traffic controller is reaching ‘cognitive overload’? And how can we best warn an operator of risk using haptic, visual, and auditory alerts (HMI.

• I helped our clients to make their technology and systems safer, easier to use, and more effective.
• Contextual observations with train drivers (day and night shifts) to evaluate usability and understand potential safety risks relating to a new product that presented driving advice on a screen
• Gave evidence-based insights that empowered New Zealand's largest rail company to integrate a new device into 180 locomotives, with fuel savings of 10% and high user acceptance
• Business development for the South Island

• Lectured in the Psychology Department, supervised Masters and PhD research students, and conducted research in applied cognitive psychology in collaboration with researchers from complementary disciplines (e.g..
• Investigating expertise and adaptability in defence force personnel (cyber defence as well as higher ranking joint forces personnel)
• Measuring the effectiveness of a technology app that provides users with real-time performance feedback during physical exercise
• Investigating virtual reality (VR) for pain management
• Eliciting tacit (e.g. hard-to-verbalise) knowledge from expert machinists so that it could be translated to an artificial intelligence systemI left University of Huddersfield in 2018 but remain affiliated.
