 of technology\, specifically the ways in which technology is impacting the
  way we interact with each other as humans. Other areas of interest includ
 e the use of psychophysiological measures such as eye tracking and vocal a
 nalyses to better determine and study the critical applied cognitive and e
 xperimental topics of interest such as spatial cognition\, human-human and
  human-robot team interactions. Dr. Lum conducted research on human-non-hu
 man teaming in the summer of 2023 as part of the U.S. Air Force Research L
