Our mission is to understand the factors that influence human performance and decision-making, apply these understandings to solve practical problems, such as risk communication in cyberspace and safety issues in human-automation systems, and eventually make people’s lives better!
Our Research
The Human-Automation Collaboration (HAC) Lab at Rice University, directed by Dr. Jing Chen, focuses on how humans interact with automated systems, ranging from semi-autonomous vehicles to cybersecurity systems, and how to design this interaction for system safety and security and security. Specifically, our research focuses on human trust, human vigilance, decision-making, and risk communication, as well as design considerations to better assist users in their goals.
