Christine has enjoyed being a lifelong learner. Most recently, in 2024 she completed a PhD program in Computer Science at the University of Colorado Boulder. She earned her Master of Science in Computer Science in May 2021. She also has a Master of Science in STEM Education and a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Aerospace. She completed her teaching certification through ABCTE.

My research is centered around challenging human assumptions about autonomy and mitigating their often harmful effects, particularly in human-robot interaction. I use technologies such as augmented reality and other novel interfaces to mediate communication among human-autonomy teams.
