About Me

Dr. Beau Schelble is an assistant professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Tennessee Knoxville, and the founding director of the AI and Robotics for Collaborative Systems (ARCS) Lab. His research focuses on optimizing systems containing elements of human-AI interaction and teaming. He received a Ph.D. in human-centered computing from Clemson University. His research expertise lies in human-autonomy teaming, responsible AI development, and human-robot teaming.

Dr. Schelble’s research has prioritized the exploration of human factors in human-AI systems to enhance the ability of human-AI collaborative systems to coordinate successfully in complex environments by supporting responsible AI, situational awareness, trust, and shared knowledge. As an interdisciplinary researcher, Dr. Schelble continuously leverages qualitative, quantitative, and computational methodologies to fully contextualize challenging research questions on topics within the human factors and systems engineering domains, heavily emphasizing shared knowledge, responsible AI, intelligent information-sharing, and situational awareness. Additionally, his work spans various contexts, including advanced manufacturing, cyber security, emergency response management, future of work, and command and control environments. Dr. Schelble’s work has resulted in over 30 articles in high-impact journals and conferences across human factors, systems engineering, and human-computer interaction design. These works have also been recognized for multiple best paper awards/nominations (4 total).
