Currently I am Associate Research Professor at the Department of Social and Decision Sciences. My main area of research is focused on the study and support of decision making in complex and dynamic environments.

I founded the Dynamic Decision Making Laboratory to conduct experiments using realistic computer simulations. Besides laboratory experiments, we use other research methodologies, such as computational cognitive modeling, eye tracking, and fMRI. For a more detailed description of my research and the projects the laboratory currently pursues, please see the lab website.

Past Research (1997-2000)

I was a Post-Doctoral Fellow working at the Center for Interactive Simulations in the Graduate School of Industrial Administration, Carnegie Mellon University. I researched cognitive workload effects on performance in Real-Time Dynamic Decision Making (RTTDM) environments.

The main objective of this research was to develop and test a cost-benefit theory of adaptation for individual and team decision making. In RTTDM the management of cognitive resources plays a key role in the acquisition of decision strategies.
