Matthew Graham
Matthew Graham
Matthew is a first-year PhD student from the western foothills of North Carolina. He earned a B.A. in Psychology and an M.S. in Psychological Science from the University of North Carolina Wilmington. His master’s thesis investigated performance under pressure, specifically how varying levels of pressure impact performance of highly automatic skills. Matthew is inspired by research topics in performance under pressure, decision-making, and human-automation interaction. He is determined to use human factors research to understand operators' decision-making under high stress and develop tools for use in sports, military, and other real-world applications.

Director: Colleen Patton, PhD
Dr. Patton is an Assistant Professor at North Carolina State University in the Human Factors and Applied Cognition program. She completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Maryland, College Park, and her graduate training at Colorado State University under the guidance of Dr. Ben Clegg and Dr. Chris Wickens. Her research interests are focused on human-automation interaction, specifically focused on perceptions and decisions of human operators surrounding automation use. As automation, artificial intelligence and machine learning applications grow, especially in military contexts, we look to understand how these tools can be utilized in human interaction to produce productive solutions to real world problems.
