About
Dr. Yusuke Yamani is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of human-automation interaction, trust in technology, and nuclear power plant modernization. His most cited paper, "Cross-cultural trust of robot peacekeepers as a function of dialog, appearance, responsibilities, and onboard weapons" (2020, 4 citations), explores how cultural factors shape human trust in autonomous systems—a critical issue for deploying robots in sensitive roles. Dr. Yamani has also made significant contributions to the Light Water Sustainability Program, authoring two key reports (2023) that develop and evaluate a novel method based on System-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) to optimize information automation systems for nuclear power plants. This work directly supports the domestic nuclear fleet's transition toward digitalization, addressing the challenge of designing automation that is both efficient and trustworthy. With a focus on safety-critical domains, Dr. Yamani’s research bridges human factors engineering and systems theory, offering practical tools for modernizing aging infrastructure. His work is particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in the human side of automation, cross-cultural trust, and the future of nuclear energy.
