Research interests
In my research, I examine the cognitive requirements that humans face as part of their work. Currently, I use fault diagnosis as an exemplary work task to study how these requirements differ between different technical domains. I am also interested in the complex cognitive processes that people use to deal with the requirements posed by the task and the work domain.
