Curtis Craig's research interests focus on human performance and safety in high-pressure, safety-critical domains. In surface transportation, this includes driver behavior, traffic safety, and pedestrian safety. With the goal of reducing crash risk, he has led or contributed to investigations on human attention and mental workload in work zones, driver fatigue and sleep deprivation, social and engineering interventions for pedestrian-driver interaction, and visual and auditory perception for alerts while driving.
He is a research associate with the Human Factors Safety Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. Curtis received his bachelor's degree in cognitive science and master's degree in applied cognition and neuroscience at the University of Texas at Dallas. He received his PhD in experimental psychology with an emphasis in human factors from Texas Tech University.
