• Education:
  • Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology (2014, Colorado State University)
  • M.S. in Cognitive Psychology (2011, Colorado State University)
  • B.S. in Psychology (2008, Baylor University)

His research focuses on cognitive engineering applications for cyberspace, transportation, and defense domains. Key areas include:

• Engineering human attention under multitasking overload
• Human-automation trust and interaction dynamics
• Cybersecurity cognition and defense mechanisms
• Human systems integration in military/healthcare

Recent publications analyze 15 articles across human-AI teaming, attention modeling, and cyber defense. Notable trends include trust measurement via eye tracking, decision-making biases in cyber attackers, and workload management tools like SEEV Modeler and STOM Model.

Scientific recognitions include:

• Jerome H. Ely Award (Human Factors Journal)
• Marc Resnick Best Paper Award
• Lightning Bolt Innovation Team Award (U.S. Navy)
• Exemplary Achievement Awards for leadership
• SMART Scholarship (U.S. Department of Defense)

He has received funding from Army Research Office, DARPA, IARPA, NASA, Office of Naval Research, and other government agencies. His lab work focuses on human-autonomy teaming and cognitive cyber situational awareness through collaborations with U.S. Navy and defense institutions.
