Research Expertise

Most organisational systems operate with simplistic notions of how humans interact with equipment, procedures, organisational rules and culture. Aviation pioneered prioritising the human factors (HF) evidence-base design and operations. My research strength - across" is extending and promoting this evidence-base across a diverse research portfolio of topics/sectors - e.g., culpability judgements, foreign object retention (FOR) in healthcare, sustainable travel and self-help group (SHG) impact. "Just Culture" (JC) policy promotes fair treatment of staff involved in incidents; but it lacks foundation in empirical data and theory. My culpability decision making research generates this scientific foundation, influencing JC implementation in aviation, healthcare and rail. FOR is a persistent healthcare problem despite decades of attention. My research elucidates the human and cultural factors underlying failure of current procedures, highlighting how to enhance them. Reducing medication-related harm is a HSE strategic priority. My School of Pharmacy collaboration elucidates the HF of medication management in key contexts such as transitions of care. Promoting sustainable travel relies largely on guilt or crude financial incentives. My collaboration with School of Engineering & ADAPT applies behaviour change models developing nuanced evidence-based strategies. SHGs are effective in combating poverty in the global south. My research elucidates psychosocial impacts and what makes these groups effective, leading to a refined SHG model. I am proud of the role I have played, along with my Centre for Innovative Human Systems (CIHS) colleagues, in building a strong model of real-world human factors research. This is yielding substantial funding (€5m+ personally - EU, HRB, SFI and Industry; €1m+ annually for CIHS) that give us a leadership national role in patient safety and traffic medicine research. My research has significant social (policy & practice across sectors) and academic impact (40+ peer-reviewed papers including high impact international journals, e.g. Safety Science, 4.7 Impact Factor).
