Professor Castro is interested in the capacity of attention under cognitive workload, particularly in the context of technology and multitasking. His research encompasses workload measurement and modeling in human-machine systems, especially within human-computer interaction, driving, automation, and data visualization and manipulation. He also employs advanced cognitive modeling techniques to examine the mechanisms of attentional capacity, multitasking, and performance. His recent multidisciplinary collaborations were published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied and IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics. He has also co-authored review chapters in The Psychology of Learning and Motivation and The Handbook of Human Multitasking.
