Teamwork in Highly Dynamic Scenarios - UsabilityNJ (NYC, NY, USA)

Developing computerized support for time- and safety-critical teamwork, such as trauma resuscitation, is very challenging. To date, it is not even clear whether computer aids should support certain individuals, the overall team, or both, and in what manner.

This talk describes a study of teamwork in trauma resuscitation and the challenges concerning access to the setting, research methodology and data analysis. Preliminary insights about where in the process and how technologies can help  will also be discussed.

About the Speaker:
Aleksandra Sarcevic is a PhD candidate at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, majoring in Information Science at the School of Communication, Information, and Library Studies (SCILS). Her research interests are in the areas of human-computer interaction, computer-supported collaborative work, human information behavior, and information visualization.

Prior to Aleksandra’s current research on collaborative processes of trauma teams and trauma resuscitations, Aleksandra has been involved in research projects that investigated synchronous collaboration across dissimilar computer platforms, user interface design for searching emotional content in large video databases, and techniques and tools for evaluating interactive question-answering (QA) systems used by intelligence analysts.  Aleksandra’s work experiences include internships at Siemens’ User Interface Design Group and Google’s User Research Experience.
