... Her 25-year research career has spanned a broad range of topics in human-machine interaction and user-centered system design, including adaptive instructional design, team decision making, command center design, and human performance measurement in simulation environments. At Aptima, she has served as the principal investigator for projects focusing on the development of reliable and valid performance measures for teams of F-16 pilots training in a distributed simulation facility, the design of synthetic entities that function as team members for simulation-based training of teamwork skills, the assessment of team performance and development of team performance measures for AWACS weapons director teams, and the development of optimized model-based manning reduction strategies that will allow the operation of Navy ships with a reduced number of personnel.

... Previous projects at the National Research Council include a study of staffing standards for aviation safety inspectors at the Federal Aviation Administration, studies of Social Security disability determination for individuals with visual and hearing impairments, and workshops on technology for adaptive aging and on decision making in older adults. She has also done work for a previous employer on vision requirements for commercial drivers and on commercial driver fatigue.
