Biography
Killeen studies behavioral decision theory, statistical inference, and information theory. He views his role as a consultant on theoretical or technical issues, rather than a content matter or interface specialist. He is eager to analyze real decision issues within these traditional frameworks and determine how to adapt them to concrete demands.
