Cyber, Affect, Performance, and Stress (CATS) Lab

Gerald's interests focus on factors that influence human performance including stress, workload, fatigue, and individual differences. His contributions include developing the Dundee Stress State Questionnaire for measurement of task-induced stress, multivariate modeling of individual differences in sustained performance, and developing the first major critique of "emotional intelligence". His research has been funded by multiple Department of Defense agencies, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity. His current projects concern human-robot teaming for threat evaluation, human-AI collaboration for cybersecurity, and the human factors of nuclear power plant operation.
