	Dr. Lauren Reinerman-Jones

Dr. Lauren Reinerman-Jones started college at the age of 14 and graduated with her doctorate by the time she was 23 years old. She is the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society’s Augmented Cognition Technical Group Program Chair and thus her research focuses on physiological measures as indicators, selection tools, and predictors of cognitive state and human performance. Prior to becoming a lead for UCF’s IST ACTIVE Lab, she directed studies at the University of Cincinnati for the Army, producing a useful personnel selection tool. She also enjoyed her position as Adjunct Professor at the University of Cincinnati while, at the same time, contributed to research conducted at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Working with government agency collaborators, her current interests have centered on investigating invocation tools for automated systems, particularly Unmanned Ground Vehicles, with attention to eye tracking, EEG, ECG, and GSR. Implementing those metrics into experiments that directly compare virtual to live environments is a growing concentration, as well their application to robotics and nuclear regulatory activities. Her successes most recently earned her a finalist title for the Orlando Business Journal’s “Business Woman of the Year.”
