Hampton, Virginia, Us

Intern with the Crew Systems and Aviation Operations branch with NASA Langley Research Center. Investigated metrics for measuring human-robot team success for future verification, validation and certification of the systems. Ran an in-house study on the "Effects of Communication Delays on Human-Autonomy Team Success" which involved programming a small robot to react differently depending on randomized conditions presented to participants. This cognitive study increased knowledge of human-robot teaming.
