I am an associate professor in the Human Factors Ph.D. program. My research interests focus on understanding and improving perceptual-cognitive performance (e.g., anticipation, decision making) in complex and challenging operational settings (e.g., law enforcement, security, military command and control, aviation, and emergency medicine). For example, I am investigating ways to train police officers to make better decision in stressful situations.

I worked on the Cognitive Solutions to Surveillance in Security research project, a government and industry-funded project designed to test innovative solutions to improve surveillance based on a thorough, psychologically grounded characterisation of the problem space. The projected adopted an interdisciplinary approach to support surveillance, merging systems engineering with expert knowledge and cognitive psychology. This was used to inform the design of innovative support systems and training.
