Synergistic Activities

Currently advising research projects by 4 undergraduates and and 5 PhD students, including
research on helping rheumatoid arthritis patients reason about the risks and benefits
of medication; building better academic advising systems, and (apropos of this proposal)
computational social choice. Have worked with anthropologists and psychologists on research
projects, currently working with faculty in Education and Medicine. Organizer of the
Comparative Decision Making Studies (CDMS) group at the University of Kentucky, and
currently teaching Introduction to CDMS. Affiliate and on board of directors of the Cognitive
Sciences Program at the University of Kentucky, and most recently taught the intro
survey course on cognitive sciences in Spring ’09; taught “Computational Decision Making”
in Spring ’10, and “Special Topics: Trading Agents Competition” in Fall ’10. Will be the
head of the new graduate certificate program in CDMS, involving faculty from at least 10
departments at the University of Kentucky.
