Advisor: Dr. James Shanteau
Description of research
I look at how difference in expertise influence decision making using a micro world simulation, Networked Fire Chief (NFC). Current research interests include using NFC to measure situation awareness (SA). SA is the ability to gather information from one environment, and create an understanding of the environmental information that allows for prediction of environmental changes and personal actions.
