Biography
Associate Professor Sjaan Koppel holds a PhD in Psychophysiology and works at the Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC). Within this role, Sjaan is responsible for conducting a wide range of research projects broadly aimed at improving safe mobility and reducing transport-related injuries and deaths amongst vulnerable road users including older road users (e.g., drivers [passenger vehicle; heavy vehicle], occupants, cyclists, motorcyclists, mobility motor scooter users etc.), drivers with medical conditions and/or functional impairments, and child road users (e.g., vehicle occupants, pedestrians, cyclists etc.).
Within her research, Sjaan uses a number of behavioural safety techniques (including questionnaires, paper- pencil neuropsychological assessments, complex computer-based assessments, interactive driving simulations, on-road driving assessments and naturalistic driving study [NDS] methodologies) to examine vulnerable road users within a Safe System framework.
Sjaan is on the Board of Directors for the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine (AAAM), she is an Associate Editor for the Traffic Injury Prevention (TIP) journal, is on the Scientific Program Committee for the TÜV SÜD Conference ‘Protection of Children in Cars' and is an invited member of Safe Kids Worldwide's 'Children in Automated Vehicles Consortium'.
