Human Factor

Human factors research investigates the interplay between humans and technology, focusing on how human capabilities, limitations, and behaviors influence system design and performance. Current research emphasizes understanding and mitigating human error in complex systems like AI (including large language models and autonomous vehicles), healthcare, and industrial processes, often employing machine learning models to analyze human-system interactions and identify areas for improvement. This work is crucial for enhancing safety, usability, and equity across various applications, leading to more effective and human-centered technological advancements.
