Perception, action and cognition in the context of human-machine systems
My primary interests lie in designing technological
systems grounded in an understanding of human behavior,
particularly focusing on perceptual and motor processes
and their interactions with higher cognitive functions.
I adopt an interdisciplinary approach that bridges
experimental psychology, neuroscience, cognitive ergonomics,
and engineering sciences.
My work includes research on visual control of
behavior (such as gaze analysis), human modeling,
human state monitoring, and human-machine cooperation.
This research is conducted within and beyond LS2N through academic
collaborations, but also well-established industrial
partnerships across transportation, manufacturing,
service, urban design and healthcare sectors.
