My academic
scientific work relates to theoretical issues underlying human performance and cognition.
My research examines the information processing involved in perception,
judgment and decision making. I have published more than 50 peer-reviewed
scientific articles and served as Associate Editor and on the Editorial Board
of several scientific journals (e.g., I am currently an Associate Editor of Pragmatics & Cognition and Forensic Science Policy & Management).
My speciality is in taking the most theoretical scientific understanding
of the human mind, brain and cognition, and translating it into practical and
tangible ways to improve human performance in real world domains. This applied
research and consultancy has primarily focused on training, decision making,
and use of technology. For example, I have advised how to use technology (e.g.,
interactive videos, web design, gaming) to make training more effective, helped
organisations understand the cognitive aptitudes and skills needed for specific
task performance (and designed tools useful to predict job performance and for
selection & screening), developed ways to minimize expert examiners’
vulnerability to confirmation and other cognitive biases, and conducted
research and training on how to best utilize technology in the workplace. For
more information on specific areas, see Forensic
& Biometric Identification, Training, and Cognition
& Technology.
The applied
research and consultancy has taken place in a variety of countries and has
included governmental bodies (such as the UK Passport and Identity Services;
the US Air Force; and Police Forces in the UK, the US, the Netherlands and
Israel) and commercial companies (such as Orange, Deutsche Bank, PWC, and IBM),
as well as providing expert reports and testimonies in court cases (such as in
the Levi Bellfield case in the High Criminal Court at the Old Bailey in London,
and in the Troy Worsley case in the Superior Criminal Court in Washington DC).
