Prof. Clark's research is focused on the challenges that humans face during space exploration missions. Specifically he focuses on astronaut biomedical issues, space human factors, human sensorimotor/neurovestibular function and adaptation, interaction of human-autonomous systems, mathematical models of spatial orientation perception, and human-in-the-loop experiments.
