Satoshi Kitazaki received the bachelor’s and master’s degrees in engineering from Kyoto University, Japan, in 1983 and 1985, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree from the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, University of Southampton, U.K., in 1995. He was with Nissan Motor, as a Human Factors Engineer, from 1985 to 2012, where his research and development included human vibration and ride comfort, car sickness, seating ergonomics, fatigued driving, human–machine interfaces, and driver support systems. From 2012 to 2015, he was a Professor of neurology with the University of Iowa, where he conducted research for safety of older drivers and drivers with medical problems and human factors in autonomous driving. He has been with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), as the Director of the Human-Centered Mobility Research Center, since 2015. The vision of the center is to establish human-centered methodologies to design vehicles to be safe, comfortable, and enjoyable for all drivers. His research interests include the support of older drivers, human factors of autonomous vehicles, and driving pleasure based on core competencies, which are integrative approaches to understanding of drivers using behavioral, cognitive, neurological, and physiological measures.
