Research Expertise:
Human Factors | Cognitive Psychology | Clinical Informatics

My research uses information about human behavior, abilities and limitations to design and evaluate tools that improve safety, productivity, and/or health. I have over two decades of applied human factors research experience in industry where I developed expertise in designing, evaluating and improving technologies and work processes, including building prototypes to demonstrate how novel technologies can be leveraged to enable more effective human-system performance. Recent projects include: exploring how to ensure that children can ride safely in self-driving vehicles, improving the usability of the discharge documents that are generated by electronic health records, and developing software to enable direct support professionals who support adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities to create and submit required documentation more easily.
