The HUMAN PERFORMANCE MODELING TECHNICAL GROUP The Human Performance Modeling Technical Group focuses on the development and application of predictive, reliable, and executable quantitative models of human performance. In distinction to other approaches to behavioral and cognitive modeling, human performance modeling considers the human, engaged in some goal-directed behavior, in the context of a designed task environment.

Seeking new graduate students studying cognitive modelling in the transportation domain

  • 1.  Seeking new graduate students studying cognitive modelling in the transportation domain

    Posted 16 days ago

    Human Optimization Modelling Lab (HOMLab) in the Department of Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo has a fully funded position for new graduate students (either Master’s or PhD). Ideal candidates should have a good understanding of both computer programming and human factors/cognitive psychology. Experience with machine learning and/or ACT-R is a plus. Research will involve human data collection, statistical analysis, and computational modelling of human performance, mental workload, and situation awareness in the transportation domain, such as driving and piloting. The start date could be in the coming Fall, Winter, or Spring term.
