The Human Factors and Aging Laboratory is Directed by Wendy Rogers, with support from Assistant Director Megan Nickrent. Our research focuses on understanding the fundamentals of human behavior in the context of technology interactions. We engage older adults of varying abilities and experiences in our projects related to healthcare; design for aging; technology acceptance; training and instructional support; and human-robot interaction. The overall goal of our laboratory is to improve the quality of life for older adults.
