About

Dr. Jessica L. Wildman is a leading scholar in industrial-organizational psychology, whose research focuses on the dynamics of teamwork, leadership, and collaboration in complex, technology-mediated environments. Her work is particularly influential in understanding how teams adapt to disruptive technologies, such as robotic-assisted surgery, where she has pioneered efforts to map the shifting communication and coordination demands that arise when spatial configurations change. With over 1,000 citations across her body of work, Dr. Wildman’s contributions have shaped how organizations design and train teams for high-stakes, distributed, and virtual settings. Notably, her scoping review on team interactions in robotic-assisted surgery (2025) highlights critical inconsistencies in how these dynamics are conceptualized and measured, offering a roadmap for future research. Beyond this, she has advanced foundational frameworks for trust, cultural diversity, and shared mental models in teams, earning her recognition as a Fellow of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology. Dr. Wildman’s work is essential reading for anyone studying how human collaboration evolves alongside technological innovation.
