His research projects, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (FNS), include:
- Improving work design for airport security officers (2019-2024): Developed pictorial scales for measuring psychological constructs in security environments.
- Social stress and support in hybrid teams (2018-2023): Investigated machine-induced social stressors and mitigation through social support.
- Automation in visual inspection tasks (2014-2018): Examined adaptable automation for baggage screening and system reliability effects.
- Usability testing effectiveness (2012-2016): Analyzed cultural background impacts and non-usability product features influencing test outcomes.
Key contributions include the Luggage Inspection Simulation (LIS) environment for modeling work environments and the development of pictorial usability scales for multilingual applicability. His work bridges ergonomics, human factors, and applied psychology, with notable collaborations with researchers like Adrian Schwaninger and Andreas Sonderegger.
His recent publications (2025-2014) analyze:
- Human-machine performance under false alarms and miscues
- Social stressor dynamics in hybrid teams
