Dr. Huang presented our lab's work in aging, automated vehicle, and multimodal display at the 2022 Collaborative Symposium held by San Jose State University Center for Healthy Aging in Multicultural Populations (CHAMP) and Stanford Aging and Ethnogeriatrics (SAGE) Research Center

Congrats to the first M.S. graduate of the BAT Lab (@BAT_Lab_SJSU), Vidya Krishnamoorthy! She will be an Associate Software Product Manager at Tesla, Inc. We wish her the best in her future career.

Congratulations to our graduate student, Kimberly Martinez, for winning the 2022 Donald Beall-Rockwell Award for Engineering Accomplishment.

The BAT Lab graduate student, Kimberly D. Martinez, presented a study on meaningful tactile signals to assist takeover in automated driving at this year's Automotive User Interface conference in South Korea, Seoul. AutoUI 2025

Our newest two publications on tactile display (e.g., haptic seat) and automated vehicle takeover are now available in the journals of IEEE Transactions on Human-Machine Systems (ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/99065…) and IEEE Access (ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/98814…).

Our most recent publication investigating the relationship among age, non-chronological age factors, self-perceived driving abilities, and autonomous vehicle acceptance is now published in Accident Analysis & Prevention: doi.org/10.1016/j.aap.…

Congrats to the BAT Lab alumnus, Susan Summerville for winning the 2022 Arnold M. Small Best Student Paper Award from the HFES Aging Technical Group, for the paper entitled, "Exploring the Use of Public Transportation Among Older Adults During COVID-19 Pandemic: A Pilot Study."

Graduate student Kimberly D. Martinez presented a poster on tactile interfaces to support automated vehicle takeover at the 66th Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting in Atlanta, GA.

Graduate student Miaomiao (Mia) Dong presented two studies on trust in automated vehicles (supported by Honda Research Institute USA) and alcohol effects on driving (collaborated with the ECHO Lab, director @jackiescha) at the 66th HFES Annual Meeting in Atlanta, GA.

Congratulations to graduate students Miaomiao Dong and Minal Shah for winning the 2022-23 Davidson Student Scholar Award.
