Current Projects:

Human Factors of Personal Protective Equipment Compliance: Co-PI

The project is targeting National Institutes of Health (NIH) Large Research Projects for Prevention of Healthcare-Associated Infections award to support a comprehensive study on Healthcare workers compliance with CDC guidelines using naturalistic data collection methods and human factors engineering best practices.

Autonomous Driving Simulator: Co-PI

The project is targeting the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program award to support acquisition of an autonomous driving simulator. The simulator will be used for studying the usability of advance systems of autonomous vehicle and semi-autonomous vehicles.

Artificial Intelligence-Aided Imaging in Radiology: PI

The project is designed to investigate effects of the adaptation of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology on working environment and medical staff situation awareness. The project is targeting NIH/NCI 402 funding.

Previous Major Project

Factors Affecting Whether Healthcare Workers Can Remove Personal Protective Equipment Safely: Graduate Research Assistant, Information and Cognitive Systems Engineering Lab, University of Iowa.

The project is funded by the CDC (PI: Dr. Loreen Herwaldt). Faculty and researchers from several different professional backgrounds work together to understand reasons for self-contamination during Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) removal. In this project, the PPE removal scenarios are simulated, and the removal procedure is observed and compared against the standard protocols.
