Dr. Kang's background is in human factors, human-integrated systems engineering, and human–computer interaction. Kang’s specialty is in developing algorithms that can discover significant patterns from complex eye movements, which can be used to inform the design of systems and develop training intervention methods. Complex haptic interactions and brain activities can also be characterized to reveal significant patterns. Application areas include air traffic control, aircraft piloting, automobile driving, weather forecasting, advertising, Deepwater Horizon operations, and higher education/training activities.
