Associate Professor - Usha Satish, PhD
ProfessorResearch Interests:Professor Satish studies the use of man-machine simulation methodologies to assess and train human factors and productivity across many fields. This methodology is used worldwide to measure decision making and critical thinking in people both in clinical and non-clinical settings. These simulations focus on higher order cognitive processes, that impact decision making and include such functions as initiation, information management, planning, strategy, problem solving and flexibility. These skills are important for adaptation and productivity in real world situations and are closely aligned with employees’ actual work functions. Her work includes understanding the impact of environmental variables on decision making; the impact of different pharmaceutical agents on thinking abilities and the impact of burden of disease on critical thinking. She is also actively involved in use of this methodology in metacognitive training of health care professionals. Her contributions to the field are considered seminal and have impacted the understanding of the interactions of the environment and metacognition in different fields.

- Thomas Schulze, MD
ProfessorResearch Interests:Dr. Schulze’s research focuses on genotype-phenotype relationship in psychiatric disorders. He coordinates a German-wide center grant on longitudinal psychosis research (www.kfo241.de; www.PsyCourse.de) and spearheads an international study on the genetic basis of response to lithium treatment in bipolar disorder (www.ConLiGen.org), comprising several research groups from Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Australia.
- Bruce Searles, PhD, CCP, LP, CES-a
Associate ProfessorResearch Interests:Quantitative and qualitative outcomes of high fidelity simulation in perfusioin education
Myocardial perfusion territories
Clinical Perfusion (outocomes, techniques and technolgies)
Professional demographics - Richard Servatius, PhD
ProfessorResearch Interests:Dr. Servatius' program of research spans rodent models of learning and coping to studies of civilians, active duty military and veterans. The primary focus is detailing learning diathesis models for mental health issues such as anxiety disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder and major depressive disorder. Another line of research is toward the development of objective signs in mild traumatic brain injury to break the reliance on self-report symptoms. Dr. Servatius has active collaborations with the Department of Defense with the Stress & Motivated Behavior Institute (SMBI) as a centerpiece of the collaborative efforts.
