Objective

Use the skills I have acquired through the Human Systems Engineering master’s and Ph.D. program at Arizona State University related to usability testing, qualitative and quantitative research methods, human-computer interaction, and human systems integration to develop technology that provides end-users with an overall positive experience through creativity and innovation all while maintaining safety.

Experience

First Year Ph.D. Project September 2021 - Present

Collected data from two popular trust questionnaires to assess for compatibility of both instruments in measuring five different dimensions of trust in technology: trust, distrust, purpose, process, and performance. Completed study using confirmatory factor analysis measures.

Naval Research Enterprise Internship Program (NREIP) May 2022 – July 2022

Completed a 10-week research-oriented internship with the United States Navy at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) in Newport, Rhode Island. Responsibilities included drafting a literature review explaining why teaming with and appropriately trusting technology is important with a focus on a submarine environment. Also, provided consultation on data-collection and analysis methods for human-subjects research.

Master’s Research Thesis Jan 2020 – July 2021

Researching how different communication patterns used by human teammates and autonomous teammates can affect trust levels in a human-robot team in a dynamic task environment. Using data collected in a previous experiment to run an analysis to see if trust in a team can be measured by studying interactions instead of traditional, static methods.

Graduate Researcher: Next Generation Combat Vehicles Oct 2018 – May 2020

Worked on an Army Research Lab funded project involving collecting literature, statistics, figures, and other background information to develop an interaction taxonomy identifying key communications necessary for semi-autonomous military vehicles and human soldiers to work together as an effective human-autonomy team.

Air Traffic Systems Project September 2019 – January 2020

Helped PhD students in the Human System’s Engineering program conduct a study researching the cognitive load air traffic controllers experience in a high-workload situation.

Graduate Researcher: Urban Search and Rescue October 2018 – September 2019

Volunteered on a funded project to understand the current state of human-robot teaming in safety-critical work domains and identifying solutions that can help improve productivity, quality, and safety.

Hyundai Navigation Prototype Project January 2019 – May 2019

Ran usability tests for an electric car prototype utilizing user experience research methods: heuristic evaluations, interviewing, building wireframes, drafting journey maps, and conducting usability tests on different features of the prototype. This resulted in a written report explaining issues that were found and suggestions on how to fix them and was then sent to the Human Factors Department at Hyundai.

User-Experience Research Project January 2019 – May 2019

In a hypothetical project, made a prototype of computer simulation intended to teach users about their local water systems and the consequences of what can happen if water is not conserved properly or allocated appropriately.
