Scientist Dr. Colleen Phillips

Dr. Colleen Phillips holds a Doctoral degree in Industrial Engineering from Purdue University, with a specialty in Human-Computer Systems. She is a leading researcher on the creation and validation of real-time computer models of human beliefs and intentions, both as individuals and as groups. Her use of intelligent, collaborative models of human interactions and intentions has been documented in numerous publications. Dr. Phillips also holds a Master of Science and a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering from Purdue University. From 1995 to 1999, she served as Assistant Professor of Industrial Engineering at Louisiana Tech University. After making several technical contributions to human interaction with complex systems and simulations, Dr. Phillips turned her main research interests to the creation of real-time associate systems that model the complex behaviors of skilled humans, as individuals and as groups, where she spent the past decade at Western Michigan University as Assistant Professor of Industrial Engineering. She is a member of the Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group in Artificial Intelligence and Human Computer Interaction (ACM SIGART and SIGCHI) and a member of the HFES Society.
