I Study How People Think and Decide When the Stakes Are High and the Technology Is New

I'm a cognitive scientist studying human attention, decision-making, and how AI and other new technologies affect performance on demanding tasks. My research is applied: I care about findings that hold up outside a lab and are useful to people doing real jobs.
