  abstract     = {Effective human-AI teaming is hindered by a fundamental conflict between machine-centric optimization and human-centric cognition. While algorithms can generate high performing behaviors, these actions can be unpredictable to humans, compromising team fluency and safety. This 'predictability gap' represents a critical barrier to the widespread adoption of intelligent systems in collaborative settings. My work seeks to narrow this gap by integrating human cognitive strengths into robot behavior. Results indicate that this approach improves human perceptions of the robots they work with, as well as improving team performance on a variety of collaborative tasks.}
