I co-led a $300k research program funded by Toyota Motors North America, delving into the impact of human-machine interfaces in highly automated cars on user trust and comfort. This multifaceted endeavor involved collaboration with industry partners, leading the identification of research problems and conducting online surveys and in-person experiments.
Overseeing the collection and analysis of data from 100+ participants, including physiological measures and survey responses, I successfully managed stakeholder relations, ensuring seamless expectation alignment with project objectives and delivering insightful findings. I also managed and trained a team of 10+ undergraduate students, fostering a collaborative and efficient research environment that led to the achievement of project milestones. |
