Highlights of
Qualifications
 | 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.
|
| Pioneered the use
of underwater immersion as a simulation of zero gravity. He used aircraft zero
G in conjunction with underwater immersion for design and tradeoff studies for
Project Gemini, Project Apollo, Skylab, and the Air Force Manned Orbiting
Laboratory.
|
|
Conceived and constructed aircraft simulators for
formation training, air to ground weapon delivery, air to ground search and
destroy missions, and participated as one component in a large scale multisite
distributed simulation project. On a smaller scale he is also responsible for
the creation of a virtual reality simulation, 3D World, that is used as a
basic research tool to investigate phenomena associated with spatial cognition
and mental workload.
|
|
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.

Recent Professional
Experience
| Visiting Scientist, Department of Psychology,
Wright State University, 1999 to present. Current work is focused on studying
how people learn about and use spatial knowledge, especially in simulated or
virtual environments. The research could lead an understanding of the
operational construct situation awareness. Additional investigations are
directed at how spatial information can be used in a new class of graphic user
interfaces.
|
|
Research consultant for a study of the process of filling prescriptions to
develop new procedures and error checking to be implemented across a large
pharmacy chain.
|
|
Research consultant to a large maker of point of sale computer systems.
Studies were directed toward the design of shopper interfaces to be
implemented on in-store kiosk.
