Biography

Prof. Nembhard’s research, at the intersection of human factors, behavioral biometrics (Electroencephalography & eye tracking), and decision sciences, focuses on improving productivity and learning performance in complex systems. Modeling human individual differences, including skill and knowledge acquisition & transfer, forgetting, temporal motivation, personality, and modes of communication, provides a basis for designing 21st century work (Industry 4.0).
