PhD, Industrial & Operations Engineering
Patrik’s current research interests focus on Human Factors and Physical Ergonomics, specifically with inclusive and accessible design. Prior to college, he served 5 years as a radio repairman in the United States Marine Corps . From that experience, he became motivated in facilitating functional independence for people with disabilities. At the University of Michigan, he is implementing inclusive design principles through Autonomous Vehicles.
Dr. Xi Jessie Yang
PhD, Robotics
Hannah is a first-year Robotics Ph.D. student co-advised by Dr.Sarter (THInC Lab) and Dr.Gillespie (HaptiX Lab). Her focus is human-robot interaction and her current research interests lie in developing a means of haptic negotiation between a human and a robotic system to encourage a constructive and happy partnership. She is interested in human-centered design, cognitive ergonomics, and developing trust and transparency between humans and robots in high-stress/high-tempo scenarios. She received her BS and MS in Robotics Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 2020 and 2021 respectively.
Dr. Nadine Sarter, Dr. Brent Gillespie
PhD, Industrial & Operations Engineering
Teerachart is a Ph.D. student working with the Interaction & Collaboration Research Lab (iCRL) at the University of Michigan. His research interest is in human-robot interaction, computer vision, and machine learning.
Dr. Xi Jessie Yang, Dr. Yili Liu
PhD, Industrial & Operations Engineering
Jin's research interests include human-technology interaction, user experience design, and assistive technologies. His future goal is to conduct human factors research to improve human-technology interaction for people with disabilities and the aging population.
Dr. Xi Jessie Yang
PhD, Industrial & Operations Engineering
Doowon's research interest includes human-machine interaction, user interface/user experience, and trust in automation. His current research focuses on predicting driver's behavior and takeover performance based on various information prior to a takeover situation in conditional autonomous vehicles. In the end, the aim of the research is to provide a better experience gained from the interaction and to improve overall performance by applying human factors to the design and the system. He has completed his B.S in Industrial Management Engineering at Korea University and M.S in Industrial Engineering at Seoul National University.
Dr. Xi Jessie Yang
PhD, Industrial & Operations Engineering
Hyesun is a Ph.D. student working with the Interaction & Collaboration Research Lab (ICRL) at the University of Michigan. Her research goal is to improve human performance when collaborating with automation by designing an adaptive interface. Her current research interests include identifying personal characteristics that affect human-automation interaction and modeling trust dynamics.
Dr. Xi Jessie Yang
MSE, Industrial & Operations Engineering
Ekim is working towards a M.S.E. in Industrial and Operations Engineering with intentions to attend a PhD program to further her Human Factors education to explore the cross-section between mechanical and human factors engineering. Her research interests are biomechanics, accessibility, performance modeling, physical ergonomics, and human machine interaction.
Dr. Paul Green
Dr. Green is a researcher in UMTRI's Driver Interface Group, adjunct professor in Industrial and Operations Engineering, and past president of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. His research focuses on driver distraction, motor-vehicle controls and displays, driver workload and workload managers, and navigation system design.
