Research collaborations are in progress (or recently completed) with:

David Hall and Michael McNeese (of Penn State), Mark Pfaff (University of Indiana) and Gary Klein of MITRE on decision support for emergency response command and control.
Holly Yanco, Mark Micire, Munjal Desai, Kate Tsui, and Amanda Courtemanche (all of UMass Lowell) and Brenden Keyes of MITRE on multi-touch interaction design for human-robot interaction.
Holly Yanco, Mark Micire, Sarah Kuhn, and Jonathan Arambula (all of UMass Lowell) on decision-support technology improvements for Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) response.
Bruce Lamar and Lee Jackson of MITRE on technology for keeping HAZMAT secure in transit.
Mark Ashdown of MIT on exploring the users' experience with asymmetric collaboration (office versus mobile environment, large table-based versus handheld display capabilities).
Stacey Scott of the University of Waterloo on situation awareness for unmanned aircraft systems.
Yves Boussemart and Carl Nehme (of MIT) on a workshop on Critical Systems Management of Supervisory Control at the Human-Centered Processes 2008 conference.
Jean Scholtz of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and David Kieras of The University of Michigan on GOMS (Goals, Operators, Methods Selection rules) for human-robot interaction.
Erika Darling of MITRE for cognitive task analyses of unmanned aircraft systems command and control.
Holly Yanco of UMass Lowell and Julie Adams of Vanderbilt on an updated taxonomy for human-robot interaction.
