Conducting design research in the area of autonomous vehicles and future mobility concepts.

- Worked with R&D teams from Toyota and Nissan on new concepts for the interaction between humans and automated vehicle systems.- Conducted video ethnography to explore the use of non-verbal communication cues in human road-user interaction.- Built a Wizard-of-Oz setup and studied human road-user interaction with a seemingly driver-less vehicle on real roads.- Studied how co-drivers relay consequential, downstream traffic information to drivers in a driving simulator, combining… Show more - Worked with R&D teams from Toyota and Nissan on new concepts for the interaction between humans and automated vehicle systems.- Conducted video ethnography to explore the use of non-verbal communication cues in human road-user interaction.- Built a Wizard-of-Oz setup and studied human road-user interaction with a seemingly driver-less vehicle on real roads.- Studied how co-drivers relay consequential, downstream traffic information to drivers in a driving simulator, combining qualitative and quantitative data sources in ChronoViz.

- Member of the work package "Driver Behaviour and HMI"- Provided insights and recommendations gained from empirical research to a multidisciplinary team of hardware, software and traffic engineers to inform the design of an in-vehicle, advisory driver support system.- Conducted a web-based survey to (1) understand the motivation of potential users to adopt the system and use it on a regular basis and (2) inform the choice of use scenarios for future system evaluation.- Iteratively… Show more - Member of the work package "Driver Behaviour and HMI"- Provided insights and recommendations gained from empirical research to a multidisciplinary team of hardware, software and traffic engineers to inform the design of an in-vehicle, advisory driver support system.- Conducted a web-based survey to (1) understand the motivation of potential users to adopt the system and use it on a regular basis and (2) inform the choice of use scenarios for future system evaluation.- Iteratively designed and evaluated the human-system interaction in driving simulator experiments,focussing on comprehension of and compliance with the advice messages, as well as effects on driving performance.- Evaluated the prototype system in a real-road study using verbal protocol and video analysis.- Wrote research reports as deliverables to the funding agency (Netherlands Enterprise Agency).

- Wrote a computer program that used EEG and eye tracking data to find event-related potentials (ERP) following conscious or sub-conscious target fixations in a visual search task.- Presented the work at the annual conference of the Dutch Psychonomic Society.
