Laboratories

Cognitive Ergonomics Research Laboratory (CERL), Administration 67

The Healthcare Human Factors and Simulation Laboratory (HHFSL) is in the W21C Research and Innovation Centre, which is affiliated with the O'Brien Institute of Public Health in the Cumming School of Medicine.

Potential Students

Exceptional undergraduate and graduate students who have taken Psych 425: Human Factors or a similar course may request to work on projects to gain research experience or apply to study for honours and advanced degrees. The research goals of my laboratories are to design devices, environments and systems that reduce injuries and fatalities and improve the quality of life. Student alumni work in Fortune 500 companies, start-ups, government organizations and universities.
