Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD (as Co-Supervisor) - email supervisor to discuss availability.

I am a full-time Lecturer in the School of Psychology at The University of Adelaide, where I predominately teach into the Graduate Diploma in Psychology (Online). My research interests lie in the area of human factors, with a specific focus on human-automation interaction (i.e., how efficiently human operators work with automation in difficult decision-making or visual search tasks).

My PhD investigated elements of automation interface design, individual user differences, and user training protocols that shape human-automation interaction.

Basic and applied aspects of attention, cognition, and perception. In particular, I'm interested in human factors, with a specific focus on human-automation interaction.
