I am faculty in the College of Business at the University of Montana where I currently study cognition, behavior, and technology in interdisciplinary, collaborative software development in scientific computing. Through my research, I'm interested in promoting social good and accelerating innovation. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Cognitive Sciences Lab at the University of Central Florida.
In my research, I investigate how people use distributed information to learn and make decisions in service of individual and cooperative goals. I further examine how technological affordances, intelligent machine agents, and social norms influence behavior in cooperative contexts. I integrate methods from the social and computational sciences to model these relationships.
In my free time, I am an amateur naturalist and gardener. I also enjoy reading science fiction, trying out baking recipes, watching fútbol, and spending time with my family in México.
