About
Dr. Ming Yan is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-centered design and autonomous vehicle technology. Her work focuses on the critical challenge of making self-driving cars accessible and usable for all members of society, particularly through innovative human-machine interface (HMI) solutions. In her highly influential 2022 paper, "Implications of Human-Machine Interface for Inclusive Shared Autonomous Vehicles," Dr. Yan established foundational principles for designing AV systems that accommodate diverse user needs, including those of elderly individuals, people with disabilities, and non-tech-savvy populations. This work has garnered 6 citations and is widely recognized as a key reference in the emerging field of inclusive autonomous mobility. By bridging engineering, information science, and anthropology, Dr. Yan has demonstrated that technical advancement must be paired with deep understanding of human behavior and social context. Her research provides actionable frameworks for developing shared autonomous vehicles that are not only technologically sophisticated but also genuinely equitable, ensuring that the benefits of automation extend to every member of the community.
