Dr. Chris Janssen is an associate professor of (the psychology of) human-AI Interaction, especially in mobility settings (with 鈥榠us promovendi鈥�).
How do humans interact with AI and technology in mobility and work settings? How can we make this even better?
I am interested in understanding adaptive human behavior and human-automation interaction, especially in the mobility domain. How do cognitive characteristics, task characteristics, and context shape human behavior and performance? And how well can people optimize their performance given these constraints? Of particular interest are human behavior in mobility settings, and are phenomena such as multitasking, distraction and attention, and interaction with automated systems such as autonomous cars. I investigate these research topics together with students and colleagues at the Division of Experimental Psychology (in Dutch) at . I am also:
- Co-director of the lab on AI and mobility lab, a cross-disciplinary lab where we collaborate with non-academic partners on research at the intersection of AI and mobility.
- Co-coordinator of the Future of Work Platform, a cross-faculty platform that researches all facets of (the future of) human work. My research uses a combination of empirical studies and computational modeling and computer simulations. I contribute both to theory and to applied settings. For the more applied components, I collaborate and publish with colleagues in industry and government institutes.
My research has received funding from a.o. NWO, European Union, Ministry of Economic Affairs, Rijkswaterstaat, TNO, and Utrecht 木瓜福利影视.
My teaching takes place in various programs, in particular artificial intelligence (BSc and MSc) and psychology (BSc & MSc).
