Professor Joseph Johnson of the Psychology department studies how people make
judgments and decisions. In the Computational Cognition Laboratory, JDM Lab
Suite, a fully-customizable computer program written for him by Greg Reese of
the Research Computing Support group, allows Prof. Johnson to record the
steps people take when choosing an object from a group. Each object is
described by a set of characteristics. The software records how long the
subject looks at any characteristic and the order in which he or she makes
these observations. The program also computes statistics for the recorded data.

Jens received his Ph.D. in MEMS engineering from Freiburg University/Germany in 2001
before he joined SCOREC at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY,in 2002 as a
Research Associate. He has experience in multi-language software development for
numerical engineering design simulations and application areas of these tools are as
diverse as micro-electro mechanical systems and cardiovascular flow. Specifically,
he has worked on finite element mesh adaptation procedures and their parallelization
for the use on high performance computing platforms. He has published more than 15
articles in international journals and conference proceedings. Jens joined the RCS
group in February 2008.
His office is 330 Gaskill Hall. He can also be reached at (513)529-0817 or via email - muellej (at) muohio.edu
