Colleen Patton
Bio
Dr. Colleen Patton completed her graduate training at Colorado State University under the guidance of Dr. Ben Clegg and Dr. Chris Wickens. She has collaborated with scientists at the Army Research Lab and Naval Research Lab, both of which served as driving forces behind her research interests. She now directs the CHAT Lab at NCSU, where the research is focused on human-automation interaction, specifically surrounding perceptions and decisions of human operators in using automation. As automation, artificial intelligence and machine learning applications grow, especially in military contexts, the lab looks to understand how these tools can be utilized with human interaction to produce productive solutions to real world problems. When she isn’t conducting research, she loves to rock climb and go on hikes with her dogs.
