Biography
Dr. Cao conducts experiments to measure human performance and mental workload and study the effects of human factors such as experience, multitasking, and fatigue. His work examined human multitasking performance in simulated driving scenarios and simulated medical decision making scenarios. The results from these empirical studies bring insights into the underlying mechanisms of human performance and provide human data for human performance modeling and interface design.
