Senior🎓
Top SchoolHan Zhang is an Assistant Research Scientist at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute who translates a decade of cognitive science expertise into safer driving systems by applying attention and visual perception research to real-world vehicle safety. Previously a postdoctoral fellow in the UM Psychology department, Han investigated how the mind handles distraction and interference, blending rigorous experimental methods with applied human factors. Trained in a combined Education and Psychology Ph.D. program, he bridges theory and practice—designing studies that inform both policy and in-vehicle technology. Based in Ann Arbor, he brings deep academic pedigree from Beijing Normal University and UM plus a knack for turning subtle perceptual findings into actionable interventions for transportation safety.
