His research and personal interest focuses around "collective intelligence", which to him means developing and testing formal/mathematical models of human behavior to understand and engineer decision making processes for groups from teams to institutions to societies. After 10 years focusing on belief accuracy, he has begun to combine his facilitation practice with his scientific practice through negotiation theory. He's currently very interested in how groups can reach agreement on solutions to technically challenging problems when people have different preferences and priorities.
