Research summary
AI-generated

Ruichen Tan's research focuses on understanding and detecting human emotional and physiological states—such as stress, motion sickness, and speech-based emotion—in the context of driving and intelligent vehicle cockpits. This work combines psychology with engineering methods like machine learning, wearable sensors, and multimodal datasets (facial expression, speech, physiological signals) to improve vehicle safety and passenger comfort in automated and connected vehicles. The research also touches on predicting human movement patterns and vehicle-related accident risks using data-driven models.
