Hello! I am an Assistant Professor within the Human-Centered Computing Division of the School of Computing in Clemson's College of Engineering, Computing, and Applied Science. I am also the director of the Building Intelligent Goals for Collaborative AI Technologies (BIG CAT) Research Group. I received both an B.S. degree in Computer Science and a PhD in Human-Centered Computing from Clemson University, with Nathan McNeese serving as my advisor for the latter degree.

Broadly speaking my research interests focus on the intersection between humans and novel computational systems, such as Artificial Intelligence. I often conduct interdisciplinary research in the fields of Human Computer Interaction, Computer Supported Cooperative Work, Human-Centered Computing, and Human Factors.

More specifically, my core research topic for the past 5 years has been on the topic of human-AI Teamwork. Specific research interests include within this field include:

  • How to design AI and train Humans to promote adoption
  • How humans adapt around AI teammates
  • How to ensure AI teammates are ethical
