Current Projects

Project 1: Investigating the role of anthropomorphism on pilot's trust, performance, user acceptance towards a humanoid copilot (i.e., Denjin) in a single pilot operation.

Project 2: Examining the relationship between measures of gaze entropy (i.e., gaze transition entropy and stationary gaze entropy) and trust in autonomy/automation.

Project 3: Examining the interplay of trust and visual attention allocation in advanced air mobility environment using a high-fidelity flight simulator.
