Research Interests:
My research is oriented towards improving the relationship between humans and advanced technology. My research in cue-based processing is designed to help us understand the bases on which humans interpret and form judgements in complex, time-constrained situations. My work in decision-support systems is designed to consider solutions that might bridge the gap between humans and advanced technology. Finally, I have an interest in how communication can impact performance, particularly in applied industrial environments.Publication:
