Graduate Teaching Assistant

Adaptability, cognitive flexibility, expertise, cybersecurity decision making, threat detection, performance and cognition under fatigue, workload assessment, neuroergonomics

Dual Herzog is a third-year PhD student in the Human Factors and Applied Cognition program at George Mason University. His research focuses on adaptability, cognitive flexibility, expertise development, and cybersecurity decision making, with particular interest in how people detect threats and make accurate judgments in dynamic, high-uncertainty environments. He also studies workload assessment, neuroergonomics, and performance under fatigue, integrating physiological, behavioral, and subjective indicators to capture real-world cognitive demands.

Before beginning his doctoral studies, Dual contributed to multiple research projects examining research motivation, implicit attitudes, and workplace cognition. His broader interests include measurement and psychometrics, especially the development and evaluation of constructs used to study cognition and performance in applied settings. He has also worked on human-systems integration and decision-making projects in defense and national security contexts, drawing on his prior government experience.
