Dr. Nathan J. McNeese is the McQueen Quattlebaum Endowed Associate Professor of Human-Centered Computing, the Founding Director of the Clemson University Center for Human-AI Interaction, Collaboration, & Teaming, and the Founding Director of the Team Research Analytics in Computational Environments (TRACE) Research Group in the School of Computing at Clemson University. Dr. McNeese held the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences Dean's Professorship at Clemson prior to his current endowed appointment. He received a PhD in Information Sciences & Technology from The Pennsylvania State University. His area of expertise is in human-autonomy/AI teaming and human-centered AI.
Throughout his research, he draws on quantitative, qualitative, and computational methods including controlled experiments, contextual inquiry, participatory design, ethnography, and human-centered algorithmic methodologies to better develop and utilize AI in a way that improves human lives and contributes positively to society. In concert with his research, he teaches undergraduate and graduate courses on human-computer interaction, human-AI interaction paradigms, teamwork and technology, and human factors. For over a decade, Dr. McNeese has helped to pioneer the field of human-autonomy/AI teaming. His contributions to the field have ranged from providing some of the first in-depth conceptual definitions of human-autonomy/AI teams to publishing the first empirical investigations relating to performance, trust, situational awareness, coordination, team cognition, human perceptions, team composition, and ethics in human-autonomy/AI teaming. Dr. McNeese has been a principal investigator or co-principal investigator for more than 30 research grants and awards, generating more than $39 million in funding. In 2023, he received the prestigious NSF CAREER Award.
