Dror’s research, published in dozens of research articles, cited over 15,000 times (source: Google Scholar), demonstrates human vulnerabilities in expert judgments and decision making. He has worked in a variety of domains, from policing and aviation, to medical experts and bankers, showing that bias and cognitive factors impact even hard working, dedicated and competent experts. In the forensic domain, Dr. Dror has focused attention and highlighted how bias can impact even the more 'objective' scientific domains.
