Robert Hoffman

Professional Biography: Robert Hoffman is a Senior Research Scientist at the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition in Pensacola FL. He received his B.A., M. A., and Ph.D. in experimental psychology at the University of Cincinnati. After a Postdoctoral Associateship at the Center for Research on Human Learning at the University of Minnesota, Hoffman joined the faculty of the Institute for Advanced Psychological Studies at Adelphi University.

Personal Statement: I am the Editor for the Department on Human-Centered Computing in IEEE: Intelligent Systems, and am Editor for the book Series, "Expertise: Research and Applications." My major current project involves an effort to define the principles and methodologies for human-centered computing and complex cognitive systems. I am also helping lead an effort to establish a National Alliance for Expertise Studies.

I find the opportunity to be creative and generate novel solutions to important scientific challenges to be most engaging about my research. I chose applied research because it makes a difference. It generates more interesting problems than those that are likely to occur in laboratory paradigms. It is more than playing the "clever game" of factorial experimentation.
