Thomas Kerwin's research focuses on driving safety and performance, using driving simulators to study how factors like sleepiness, lighting conditions, aging, mild traumatic brain injury, and aggressive behaviors affect driving. His work also includes developing tools and software for driving simulation research, such as data-reduction packages and AI-based hazard detection systems, and some earlier work on surgical training standards for ear surgery (mastoidectomy).
