"The important thing is not to stop questioning." | |||
| I am a graduate of the University of
Wisconsin-Madison (B.S., Psychology, 2003; M.S. Psychology 2004), currently pursuing a joint
PhD in Psychology and Industrial Engineering and Systems
Engineering.
My research interests are twofold. First, I am interested in executive control involved in working memory, and, more generally, in human cognition. My current research investigates the nature of executive control, e.g., whether control is accomplished via a unitary mechanism or separable mechanisms. Furthermore, what could these separable mechanisms be, how do they interact, and how do they contribute to a wide range of cognitive processes (e.g., reading, learning, problem solving) and general fluid intelligence? My second interest is in the application of basic behavioral science to real-world situations of human performance, especially in relation to health care work. To this end I am concurrently conducting Human Factors Engineering research in Health Care Patient Safety through the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering.
