Distinguished career as a Human Factors scientist for the United States Air Force. His work has spanned a broad range from basic research, to applied research, to test and evaluation, design and evaluation of operational systems. He has worked on numerous air and space systems. Research has focused on design of simulation and its application to human factors problems, pilot training research, and on various types of measurement of the human operator. Best known for his research in measuring mental workload. In fact his performance measurement research has spanned the range from basic research on subjective scaling to the application of physiological measures in simulation and flight test environments. He was the principle originator of the Subjective Workload Assessment Technique, which is one of the most used approaches for measuring operator workload in operational test settings. He has applied various techniques to flight test situations to provide measures of operator workload, situation awareness, operator performance and system performance.
