Jason Saville is a second-year doctoral student of industrial-organizational psychology at North Carolina State University, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2018. His main body of research examines how virtual reality can and is being implemented into the workplace, especially as a tool for diversity, cultural competency, and empathy training. At IntelliMedia, Jason applies rigorous psychological research to topics of team communication assessment, intelligent tutoring systems, and user interface design. He is currently working on a project that utilizes virtual reality to improve user interfaces for the first responder community.
In addition, Jason serves as a member of the 4D Lab at NC State University, where he works with Dr. Lori Foster on research topics that focus on the intersections between work, psychology, technology, and global development. Some of Jason’s other pursuits include co-instructing an undergraduate summer course of human resource management (HRM) alongside Dr. Paul Mulvey within the Poole College of Management, as well as working directly with Psychology faculty to implement systems that facilitate collaboration and cohesion between present and alumni members of his graduate program. Outside of the professional realm, Jason enjoys playing videogames with his brother and spending time with friends.
