Research Areas
Dr. David Neyens’ primary research interest focuses on human factors application in health care and transportation. Dr. Neyens and his students use sophisticated analytical models to quantify operators’ behavior and performance in complex systems and situations. He is particularly interested in understanding the effects of technology on operator's behavior, performance, and overall system effectiveness.
