Vassilis Papakostopoulos is a lecturer in
ergonomics at the Department
of Product and Systems Design.
He holds a bachelors degree in Psychology, from the University of Crete
(1996), a MSc in Ergonomics, from Loughborough University in England
(1998), and a PhD in the field of Applied Cognitive Psychology, from
Panteion Univeristy in Athens (2008). During his PhD studies, Vassilis
worked for four years as a research associate at the Hellenic Institute
of Transport - CE.R.T.H., and was involved in numerous EU-funded
Projects (i.e. AIDE IP, AGILE IP, SENSATION IP, LATERAL SAFE IP). In
2009, Vassilis was certified as a European Ergonomist (EurErg) and
serves as the national representative of Greece at the Centre for Registration of European
Ergonomists (CREE) .
His research focuses on driving behaviour, covering a vast area of
driving behaviour research issues (e.g. visual perception, attention,
psychomotor behaviour etc.), as well as, the evaluation of driving
support systems.
