Research Interests

My research focuses on three areas that relate to the interaction between human performance and advanced technology. The first of these areas involves understanding how people acquire and use visual and auditory cues as a basis for diagnoses, particularly in time-constrained, high-risk environments. I have used the knowledge derived from this research to develop a range of computer-based training and assessment strategies to improve the performance of practitioners in operational environments, including aviation, rail control, and power system control. This knowledge has also contributed to our understanding of cognitive skill acquisition, the second area of research in which I have an interest. The final area of research in which I am engaged involves the development and evaluation of audiovisual decision support systems. My specific interest in decision support systems relates to the process of information acquisition and the impact on diagnostic performance.
