Faculty members carry out active programs of research in three main areas: health psychology, neuropsychology, and an interconnected cluster of experimental sub-disciplines that includes human factors psychology, ecological psychology, human performance, and cognitive science. The faculty works in close conjunction with graduate students to produce a steady stream of presentations and papers. The department places a high value on research funding and interdisciplinary collaborations. We place equal value on basic and applied research.

Faculty members play active roles in professional organizations and contribute to the profession through the review of articles and grants. Members of the department participate in college and university governance. We are privileged to share our expertise and our research findings with the public, locally, nationally, and internationally.
