About
Sean M. Fitzhugh is a leading researcher at the intersection of human factors engineering and artificial intelligence, specializing in the dynamics of human-autonomy teams. His work is foundational to understanding how humans and autonomous systems can collaborate effectively, focusing on the critical, often intangible, elements of trust, cohesion, and resilience within these hybrid teams. Fitzhugh’s major contributions include developing a conceptual toolkit for measuring trust in human-autonomy teams—a framework that has garnered 38 citations since 2022 and is widely used to guide the design of trustworthy autonomous systems. More recently, he has pioneered novel psychometric approaches to assess team resilience and complementarity as key factors in team cohesion, addressing a critical gap in how we evaluate the "health" of human-autonomy partnerships. His research is directly shaping the future of human-machine collaboration in high-stakes environments like defense, disaster response, and advanced manufacturing, providing the empirical and theoretical tools necessary to build effective, resilient, and trustworthy autonomous teammates.
