Our People

Interdisciplinary research requires an interdisciplinary team.

The Global Risk and Individual Decisions (GRID) Laboratory develops and tests theory at the intersection of Psychology, Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science. These theories are applied and tested in decision domains spanning meteorology, cyber security, climate change, natural hazards and disasters, and medical diagnosis and therapeutics.
