- Zhonghai Li currently is working at the
Insurance Institute
for Highway Safety as a Research
Scientist in Human Factors Engineering. His major role is to conduct
original research on interaction of people with technology in complex
driving environment and safety implication of the interaction.
- Zhonghai Li was a Postdoctoral Fellow (2006-2007)
at Intelligent
Assistive Technology and Systems Lab (IATSL) and
worked on a project which investigates product design and usability
for older adults, especially those with a cognitive impairment.
- Zhonghai Li was a Ph.D. student (2001-2006) at the
Ergonomics in
Teleoperation and Control (ETC) Lab in the
Department of
Mechanical & Industrial Engineering at the
University of Toronto.
His research area is Human Factors Engineering, in which he does research
on humans and designs systems for humans. Specifically, his thesis is
about perception of collision in automobile driving and its application in
brake lights improvements for reduction of rear-end collisions.
- Zhonghai Li received his master's degree in Management Science
& Human Factors Engineering and he has two undergraduate degrees, one in
Electronic & Information Engineering; another is in Finance, which he
received from
Huazhong University of Science & Technology in China.
- Zhonghai Li was a "Precarn Scholar" (2002-2005) which means he has
been identified as one of the best and brightest students in his field by
The Institute for Robotics
and Intelligent Systems of Canada.
-
Zhonghai Li has been awarded:
the "Student Research Award" by the
Perception & Performance
Technical Group of the HFES for the paper titled "An investigation of
the potential to influence braking behavior through manipulation of
optical looming cues in a simulated driving task". (PDF
see page 4 & 5)
the "Best Student Paper Award" by the
Surface Transportation
Technical Group of the HFES for the paper titled "An empirical
investigation of a dynamic brake light concept for reduction of rear-end
collision accidents during emergency braking". (PDF
see page 9)
both at the 49th Human
Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) Annual Meeting (Orlando, 2005).
