Areas of expertise Roughly speaking, I am interested in what humans do to determine what is relevant when interacting with other humans and inanimate objects.

Bit less roughly:

1. What are the basic mechanisms that people employ to decide what is relevant?
2. How can we model these mechanisms computationally, in order to
a. enhance our understanding of the behavior involved, and
b. provide support to humans involved in the task studied?
3. Can we let the technology accommodate to the specific ways in which humans perform these tasks instead of the other way around, by using the findings to the previous questions?
