Research Interests

In my applied Human Factors research, I am investigating fault diagnosis and the role assistance systems can play in it. The focus is on understanding causal relations. We conduct field studies in a company that produces and packages chocolate, and aim to transfer the problem structures into simplified lab experiments that combine knowledge from cognitive psychology and Human Factors in dialogues between humans and assistance systems.

Several general questions are important to me in my applied research:

  • How can we use knowledge from basic research to understand and enhance human-machine cooperation? For instance, what can the literature on decision making and cognitive control contribute to our understanding of operator challenges in modular chemical plants?
  • How do the challenges that operators are faced with depend on the specifics of the technical systems, and how does this differ between domains? For instance, what distinguishes operator roles, tasks, and cognitive requirements between the process industries and discrete processing?
  • How can we design assistance systems that do not simply tell operators what to do but aid them in understanding the situation? What do operators need to know about the causes of a fault and the interactions between the machine, process parameters and environmental factors?
