Bio:

I am an applied psychologist. That means I attempt to use psychological theories and principles to solve real life problems. A particular interest of mine is human-computer interaction (HCI) which is about how people and technology work together. Some of my recent HCI projects include the development of a database to assist police and first responders identify the source of bomb fragments; technology to help people who are visually impaired or those with learning disabilities take advantage of textual materials and; exploring the best technologies to facilitate student engagement in post-secondary classrooms. I am in the “zone” when I can help people understand how psychology might apply to their everyday lives. As an example, my PhD thesis was concerned with identifying how experts and novices differ in how they interpret data. The results may facilitate our understanding of complex, data-rich concepts across many fields including science, technology, and business.
