He earned his B.S. in Computer Science at the University of Alabama and his Ph.D. in Human-Centered Computing at the University of Florida under Dr. Juan E. Gilbert. His research focuses on human-robot interaction and brain-computer interface applications. He has investigated systems that provide computer applications and robots with information about users’ cognitive state. He recently developed a brain-drone racing system that was featured in over 600 news outlets including Discovery, USA Today, and the New York Times. Along with investigating brain-robot interaction applications, Chris is also investigating ways to address barriers that hinder novice programmers with developing neurofeedback applications.
