I am a PhD Candidate in the School of Industrial Engineering. I was raised in Meridian, MS. My current research projects are in the field of cognitive engineering and focus on human-AI teaming within complex environments. My projects investigate various human behavioral factors that influence and impact the way(s) humans interact with complex (autonomous) systems. My future goals are to pursue the application of this research in industry or government immediately after graduation and eventually transition into a faculty position at a top university.
