I am currently a Research Scientist at HRL Laboratories (formerly Hughes Research Labs (Hughes Aircraft)) in Malibu, CA. I have a diverse background, with academic and professional experience in human-centered system design, empirical user studies, cognitive psychology and systems-level neuroscience, functional neuroimaging, virtual- and augmented-reality multimodal interaction systems, and the development of artificial cognitive agents. I have a doctorate and Masters in Cognitive Psychology from UCLA, as well as a B.S. in Psychobiology. My current work focuses on employing cognitive psychology in artificial intelligence, human-centered systems, and dynamic informatics-- that is, I am interested in how human operators can more efficiently and effectively interact with machines and how those interactions can change over time. I have worked for corporate customers including General Motors, Raytheon, and Boeing, and have worked under contract for the Department of Defense (DARPA).
