Mission
Profoundly reduce decision vulnerability through transformative decision science and inclusive technology innovation.
Venture
Research at the Decision Analytics Lab empowers skilled and informed decision making with award-winning advances in Risk Literacy & Decision Technology (e.g., adaptive psychometrics, ethical risk communications, user-friendly training systems). Since 2007, our team has published more than 100 scientific papers and received 50+ research, teaching, and outreach honors, including millions in external awards and premier professional recognition for “major contributions to the sciences of mind, brain, and behavior” (2017 FABBS Early Career Impact Award; 2013 NSF CAREER Award). Our research has been featured in media including Scientific American, New Scientist Magazine, Chronicle of Higher Education, and New York Times and Wall Street Journal Online, among others.
The Decision Analytics Lab is a contributing partner of the U.S. National Institute for Risk & Resilience and the Department of Psychology at the University of Oklahoma, and a co-founding partner of the RiskLiteracy.org network, advancing ethical science for informed decision making and public risk understanding, in collaboration with researchers from around the world.
