overview

Dr. Zahabi's research is focused on applying Human Systems Engineering theories and principles in design and analysis of complex human-in-the-loop systems. In particular, she is interested in usability evaluation and interface design of health information technologies; law enforcement in-vehicle technology design, training, driving distraction and multi-tasking performance under high workload driving conditions; and virtual reality application to improve human cognitive and psychomotor performance. Other research interests include interruptions in healthcare settings, patient safety monitoring and adverse event prediction using data analytics, and applications of cognitive performance modeling and system safety analyses techniques in different domains.
