Research summary
AI-generated

Barrett S. Caldwell's research examines how people, teams, and automated systems work together in complex, high-stakes environments such as spaceflight, aviation, and disaster response. Much of the work focuses on coordinating information and decision-making across distributed teams, including how humans interpret and trust automated or AI-based tools, and how physiological factors like sleep affect performance. The research combines human factors and systems engineering approaches to design better tools, training, and organizational structures for teamwork under uncertainty.
