Most of my current planned activity is related to the THRILL Lab, which has a separate site. Visit site

This includes publications, media hits, analytical commentary, and other resources related to research about human factors and amusement attractions: safety metrics and safety evaluation, media analysis of safety, safety inspection, rider behaviour, and control interfaces.
