Education

  • PhD, Robotics, School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University, May 1990

Interest Areas

The goals of my research are to understand how to design effective systems of people and technology by combining elements of engineering, computer science, psychology and management science. By understanding how to design technology that works with, rather than in spite of people we can be more effective in our work and live more harmoniously with our technological creations. My research projects explore issues ranging from:

  • Tools for virtual collaboration;
  • Decision support in complex tasks ranging from product design, to driving and military intelligence analysis;
  • Decision making in natural work settings;
  • Globally distributed design teams and barriers to their effectiveness,
  • Telemedicine.
