Research Interests
The research focuses on the intersection of human-centered technology, pedagogical innovation, and assistive systems. A significant portion of the work explores the development of adaptive multisensory alert systems for automotive environments, utilizing haptic, visual, and auditory feedback to enhance driver safety and human-machine interaction. Parallel to this, the research addresses the design and evaluation of technological aids for social interaction, particularly for individuals with autism, by mapping the relationship between psychological theories, therapeutic models, and assistive technologies. In the educational domain, the research emphasizes the importance of collaborative instructional design and the structuring of knowledge. This includes the use of conceptual maps and formative assessment strategies to facilitate deeper understanding and align learning outcomes with curriculum content. By integrating feedback-driven learning adjustments and identifying threshold concepts, these studies aim to optimize both technical assistance systems and university-level pedagogical processes.
Key Topics:
- Instructional design and curriculum development
- Formative assessment and feedback-driven learning
- Human-machine interface and multisensory alerting
- Assistive technologies for social interaction
- Conceptual mapping and knowledge structuring
