- Formal training in Human Factors, Experimental Psychology and
Statistical Analysis.
- Ten years experience conducting Human Factors and Experimental
Research.
- Past Projects include: user-centered design and evaluation of
web-based critical thinking training; development of a shared
understanding team trainer; human factors evaluation of the operational
impact of electronic aircraft runway taxi maps; development of
a computer-based system created to support the design, implementation
and evaluation of simulator-based flight training scenarios; development
of a software interface designed to assess and improve the quality
of mission planning skills in fighter pilots; modeling, development,
and validation of a multi-tasking ability test; manning and workload
analysis for design of Navy's next generation destroyers; assessment
of human performance trends in Navy pilot training records; interface
design and software usability evaluations; videogame playability
evaluations; evaluation of flight training devices; evaluation
of the effectiveness of Interactive Television (ITV) as a distance
education tool, examination of the role of cognition and working
memory in map navigation; language comprehension experiments;
and perceptual experiments assessing human distance-estimation
ability and the effects of optical illusions.
- Current projects include: development of a less-lethal weapon
decision aid for use by military and law enforcement for planning
and briefing missions and operations; and development of a user-centered
wiki interface and software to share cultural information via
handheld device, and PC-based, users.
- Research projects have required training and experience in assessing
the psychology of the user (perception, cognition, social interaction),
as well as capability for conducting research (laboratory, field,
applied, usability) in these areas, and the capability to analyze
and convey these findings in design principles and solutions.
- Human factors' skills include: task and workload analysis, training
and education content development, usability testing and design,
human-computer interaction, user-interface design and evaluation,
survey and questionnaire development, statistical analysis, and
advanced quantitative evaluation and modeling.
