I’m conducting research in Cognitive Ergonomics under the guidance of faculty advisor Dr. Yili Liu in the University of Michigan’s Center for Ergonomics.  The primary focus of my research is on quantifying both the aesthetic ergonomic and physical ergonomic considerations involved in the physical design of mobile phones and hand-held medical devices. 

My research interests include both physical and cognitive ergonomics, including; aesthetic ergonomic design, multimodal interface design, human computer interface research, automation and robotic interface support, hedonomics, and related fields.

I am interested in applying my research in a wide variety of domains, such as medical devices, mobile phones, office ergonomics, automotive human factors.

I’ve conducted, or am conducting research at the University of Rochester in cognitive science, the University of California Ergonomics Program primarily on physical ergonomics, Intel’s digital health division on telemedicine, and the US Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) on non-clinical medical device human factors.
