A Bit About Me
I'm Praneet Kumar Sahoo, a Human Factors practitioner with a Master's in Kinesiology from the University of Windsor. Based in Windsor, Ontario, I excel in designing user-centered HMIs, conducting UX research, and developing AI-driven machine vision systems for automotive and industrial sectors. With expertise in tools like Figma, PyTorch, eye-tracking, and Unreal Engine, I'm also familiar with training AI models using frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow to enhance system performance and safety.
​
I've led projects on driver behavior analysis, Tesla Autopilot evaluations, and ergonomic optimizations—collaborating with entities like the Ministry of Transportation Ontario, Windsor Police Department, and industrial firms such as Atlas Copco—resulting in peer-reviewed publications and awards like the Mitacs and Ontario Graduate Scholarship. Passionate about enhancing safety and usability through data-driven insights, I'm eager to innovate at the intersection of humans and technology.

As a Research Associate at Human System Labs, I lead projects using AI, machine vision, and eye-tracking to enhance automotive safety and industrial efficiency. I design experiments, collect and analyze data, author reports, develop methodologies, and manage teams, advancing human-machine interaction.
As a Research Assistant at Human System Labs, I supported experiments in human factors, focusing on driver behavior and ergonomics. I collected and analyzed data with MATLAB and R, drafted reports, and collaborated with teams to improve automotive and workplace safety.
As a Graduate Assistant in the Department of Kinesiology, I supported faculty with teaching and administrative tasks. I also mentored students and held one on one sessions to clarify doubts for the students.
