The research areas are chosen inlight of the need forsocial and behavioral science perspectives to optimize recent advances in technology, mobility, transportation and health. Too often these advances are not readily adopted by the people who would most benefit from them.
1. Technology and health interface across the life span.
2. Mobility / Transportation and health across the lifespan.
Faculty looking for international research partners can pursue potential partners on their own or post their ideas on the website forum entitled Collaborative Research Ideas.
