Dr. Erwin R. Boer has 25 years of experience in developing psychologically plausible mathematical models of human behavior with a strong focus on motor vehicle drivers and medical patients. In the automotive domain, he has used these models to design driver support systems including haptic shared control and human-like autonomous control. In the medical field he employed these models to quantify the effect of disease and age related degradation in human performance. His is well known in the human factors community for his highly sensitive entropy based human performance assessment techniques.

He has authored over 200 papers in the areas of human machine interfaces, human behavior modeling, human behavior assessment, autonomous vehicle control, shared haptic control, atmospheric remote sensing, petri nets, and data visualization.
