Biography: 

Nancy J. Cooke is a professor and the Graduate Program Chair in Human Systems Engineering at the Polytechnic School, one of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University.  She also directs ASU’s Center for Human, AI, and Robot Teaming, as well as the Advanced Distributed Learning DOD Partnership Lab, and is the Science Director of the Cognitive Engineering Research Institute in Mesa, AZ.  She received her PhD in Cognitive Psychology from New Mexico State University in 1987.  Dr. Cooke is a Past President of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society and the recent past chair of the Board on Human Systems Integration at the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine. She also recently chaired a study panel for the National Academies on the Enhancing the Effectiveness of Team Science.  Dr. Cooke was a member of the US Air Force Scientific Advisory board from 2008-2012, and in 2014, she received the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society’s Arnold M. Small President’s Distinguished Service Award.

 

Professor Cooke’s research interests include the study of individual and team cognition and its application to the development of cognitive and knowledge engineering methodologies, sensor operator threat detection, cyber and intelligence analysis, remotely-piloted aircraft systems, human-robot teaming, healthcare systems, and emergency response systems. She specializes in the development, application, and evaluation of methodologies to elicit and assess individual and team cognition. Ongoing projects in her group include coordination of human-autonomy teams in the face of unexpected events, Human-Robot Teaming and Situation Awareness, Human-Machine Teaming for Next Generation Combat Vehicle, and Monitoring Human Performance in Real-Time for NAS Safety Prognostics.  Her work is funded by the Office of Naval Research, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Army Research Laboratory, and NASA and has been widely published.

Nancy Cooke's research interests include the study of individual and team cognition and its application to the development of cognitive and knowledge engineering methodologies, healthcare, homeland security systems, remotely-piloted aircraft, and emergency response systems. In particular, Dr. Cooke specializes in the development, application, and evaluation of methodologies to elicit and assess individual and team cognition (i.e., team situation awareness, coordination) and performance.  Her most recent work includes empirical and modeling efforts to understand and predict the acquisition and retention of team skill and the measurement of team coordination and team situation awareness especially through the analysis and modeling of team communication.  Recent communication analysis work has included analysis of communication in Air Operations Center chat rooms, the Enron email corpus, and experimental command-and-control and planning tasks using voice and chat.  This work is funded primarily by the Air Force Research Laboratory and the Office of Naval Research and has been published in journal articles and book chapters.
