Experimental Scientist- Intense Distributed Collaboration (1/07 -- 6/07), Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO)

* Delivered human factors expertise in a collaborative initiative (www.hxi.com.au). Provided measurement and evaluation of relevant usability criteria for deployment of collaborative technologies in domains of eHealth and distributed collaboration.
• Evaluated new technologies (interactive tabletops) and telecommunications applications
• Produced measures and recommendations: requirements for project collaboration and technology acceptance through evaluation of teleconferences, providing physical and technical support requirements.
• Participated in expert workshops and planning exercises covering key areas of knowledge and implementation. Published and presented to targeted academia.
• Conducted domain-based experimentation, video analysis, ethnographic practices and laboratory trials using VoIP technology

Research Officer (11/05- 12/06), Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO)

Developed and pursued research agenda of Human Factors team. Employed qualitative and quantitative measures, interaction design techniques and task analysis. Completed and reported on experimental trials.
• Key participant in all stages of experimental programs: evaluation of remote guidance (1) and interpersonal communication using videoconferencing (2). Delivered design and protocol solutions based on cognitive features of users and considerations of use context.
• Reviewed key literature in computer supported cooperative work, evaluation frameworks, awareness and visualization sciences.
• Laboratory evaluations included gaze tracking, video analysis, Likert queries and interviews.
• Represented the team at internal conferences, professional events, and national demonstrations.

Research Assistant (2004-2005), Children's National Medical Center, Washington DC, USA

• Served as primary point of contact and data analyst for neuropsychological clinical trials.
• Provided expertise in scoring psychometric evaluations within a child population.
• Used visualizations and analysis programs for clinical assessment of neurological behavior.
• Developed organizational, interpersonal and communication skills.

Graduate Research Assistant (2003-2005), George Mason University, Fairfax, VA, USA

Collaborated with human factors research group focused on user perception of graphical visualizations and gesture as related to interpreting information uncertainty.
• Conducted evaluation of video transcripts using coding matrices leading to academic publication and international conference presentation.
• Developed research skills and human factor tool set.
• Received George Mason University Graduate Fellowship, 2005.

Researcher (2003=2004), Coastal Training, Virginia, USA

Performed extensive literature review for development of industrial safety program. Covered basic and applied human factors issues.
