I study computational models of expert decision-making under uncertainty, with a focus on how experts learn what parts of complex environments deserve attention.

My research sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cognitive modeling, bounded rationality, and human-AI decision support. I am especially interested in domains where exhaustive reasoning is infeasible, attention is limited, and decisions carry real operational or human consequences.

Research Focus

How do expert decision-makers decide what information deserves deep reasoning, and what can be safely monitored?

Expert Attention-Guided Decision Making

How can we model some of the processes that experts use to inform their decisions? What do those mechanisms look like in code?

Computational Models of Expertise

What tools can we build to help these experts make their decisions? How can we better show them the information that they need in order to narrow the decision down?

Human-AI Decision Support
