Research interests

Human Factors:

  • Cognitive Modeling and empirical studies of psychological foundations of human behavior in Human-Machine-Systems (especially attention processes, situational representation and understanding, selection of action, visual and cognitive distraction, anticipation)

  • Concepts of Human-Machine-Interaction and –Cooperation and related Design- und Implementation-Processes (e.g. principles of cooperative driver assistance and automation, model-based design of assistance and automation)

  • Holisitc design and evaluation of Human-Machine-Interaction specifically for partly- and highly-automated driver assistance and automation (e.g. transitions between driving modes, multimodal interaction design)

Cognitive Psychology:

  • Comprehension processes and mental representation (especially in dynamic situations and concerning diagnostic problems)

  • Decision Making and position effects

  • Diagnostic reasoning
