The Group Performance Environments Research Lab

From virtual prototypes of spaceflight mission operations, to metadata use between providers and pharmacists, to new models of information flow, we explore how people get, share, and use information well. GROUPERs translate theory into knowledge, applications and practice.

Our Mission

GROUPER is an innovative human factors research lab. We focus on studying and solving problems and challenges in information flow, knowledge-sharing, and task coordination amongst humans for a variety of applications on Earth and in space.

Our Vision

We envision a world where people share information and context without delay or error. To help achieve this we strive to design, analyze, evaluate, and improve information and communication technology in dynamic, complex systems.

Our Goal

Our core research efforts are directed at understanding and improving how people get, use, and share information....well.

GROUPER is directed by Prof. Barrett S. Caldwell.
