Research Interests
Applied cognitive psychology, human factors, and computer modeling. The general theme of my research centers on assessing and representing knowledge and skill. My current efforts are aimed at deriving and validating methods of eliciting, representing, and evaluating human knowledge and skill. This work is being performed in both academic and applied settings.
