I had the opportunity for this fellowship in the 711th Human Performance Wing, Air and Space Biosciences Division. I was selected for this ORISE position through Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education . This project involves creating and visualizing a model of fatigue state in near-real time that will inform the warfighter or other user in advance. The model may involve behavioral, physiological, and subjective data streams, and may also involve the usage of multiple coding languages such as Java, Python, HTML, statistical modeling, and cognitive modeling. I worked with a team of cognitive neuroscience researchers, as well as a multifaceted team of statistical scientists, perceptual scientists, software engineers, and hardware engineers. My responsibilities pertained to data analysis, experiment design and conduction, and brain stimulation. Cognitive Neuroscience Skills:Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS)Trigeminal nerve stimulation (TNS)Projects:

I had the opportunity to intern under the leadership of Ian Joyce in the 711th Human Performance Wing, Warfighter Interactions and Readiness Division. I was selected for this opportunity based on performance in a prior internship with 711 HPW. The opportunity was provided by the U.S. Department of Defense. I worked as an independent Human Factors expert with teams of data scientists, software developers, and medical professionals. I organized and facilitated efforts from each team to produce a research usability study series, testing the software across domains, and ending with meta-analytic methods. These efforts support the Department of Defense by advancing knowledge in Human-Machine Co-Learning and Human Factors in advanced Data Science contexts.Human Factors Skills: Job/Task Analysis, Ecological Interface Design, Usability and Satisfaction Testing (SUS, PSSUQ, QUIS, SUMI, CSUQ), Proof of Concept Development, User-Centered/Human-Centered DesignData Science Skills: Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), Interactive Machine Learning (iML), Big Data, Medical Data, Data Representation, Topological Hierarchical Decomposition, AGILE and Incremental ValidationProjects: -Experimental design and usability test for novel machine learning interface-Literature review on usability testing, XAI, iML, combatting the "black box" effect, and combatting the "explainability and predictive validity trade-off"-Produced manuscript in collaboration with co-authors

I had the opportunity to intern under the leadership of Dr. Jayde King in the 711th Human Performance Wing on "Agents for Co-Training and Knowledge Capture." This is a selective and prestigious opportunity provided by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE). "The 711th Human Performance Wing (711 HPW) is a unique combination of the Airman Systems Directorate (RH) and the US Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM). The synergies of combining ideas, resources and technologies of these units position the 711 HPW as a world leader in the study and advancement of human performance." These efforts support the Department of Defense by advancing knowledge in Human-Machine Co-Learning and Human Factors of Warfighters.Human Factors Skills: Human-AI Co-Learning, Task Analysis, Mental Models, MM Representation (JPathfinder Networks), Autonomous Elicitation Methods, Interpreting Unstructured Text, Validating Autonomous Knowledge RepresentationData Science Skills: NLP, Proximity Measures (Minkowski, Cosine), Data Mining, Triples, Knowledge Graphs, GraphGPT, BERT(net), Tokenization & CLS, Word ImbeddingsProjects: -Repperger Intern Presentation-AFRL Intern Poster Session-Produced document outlining theory and code for autonomous mental model elicitation in Human-AI Co-Learning -Produced code and workflow using NLP and Python for computing Cosine Similarity ratings from text that can be fed into JPathfinder Mental Model Representation software
