Education After several years of applied experience, I was certified as a Human Factors Professional by the Board of Certification in Professional Ergonomics (BCPE). Information about this certificate and its requirements can be obtained from the BCPE web site.
Experience I have been engaged in research, analysis and design in human factors, psychology, and biochemistry for more than 20 years. The information below will give you an idea of the experiences I can bring to bear on both business and technical issues.
At OACIS I am responsible for all management, business, project, and technical related issues. Over the past six years my primary clients have been in the automotive and defense industries. The automotive projects have emphasized design and evaluation of driver information and display applications including in-vehicle navigation systems. The defense related projects have included design and rapid-prototyping of information systems for Air Force squadron-level application. Principal Scientist, Anacapa Sciences, Inc., Santa Barbara, CA (1989 - 1994). While at Anacapa, my responsibilities included the acquisition, management, and conduct of human factors projects for commercial and government customers. These projects emphasized nuclear power, automotive, and medical equipment applications. The automotive projects included design guidelines for advanced automotive displays, prototype simulations, and on-the-road test and evaluations. The nuclear power projects were directed at reducing maintenance errors and the development and implementation of a handheld computer system and multimedia-based job aids. My efforts in medical equipment design focused on prototyping and evaluation of graphic-based interfaces. Senior Project Engineer, Hughes Aircraft Company, Radar Systems Group, Culver City, CA (1987 - 1989). At Hughes I was responsible for the management and conduct of automotive human factors projects. I provided human factors support for the design of the Hughes Driving Simulation Facility and subsequently designed and conducted investigations using this simulator. These studies examined the effects of head-up displays (HUD) and collision warning systems on driver performance. My experience at Hughes also included on-the-road studies examining issues ranging from the automotive night vision systems to customer evaluations of competitive vehicles. Project Engineer, General Motors Research Laboratories, Troy, MI (1986). The responsibilities of this position included the design and conduct of research projects investigating advanced driver information systems - especially the development of analytical tools to examine the interaction between drivers and information displays. These tools included in-vehicle videotaped analyses capturing user interactions and a computerized system to collect on-the-road evaluations. Graduate Assistantships, Wayne State University, Detroit, MI (1981 - 1986) I held a variety of assistantships and fellowships that included teaching cognitive psychology and perception laboratories, development of an operating system and instructional software for a networked teaching laboratory, and maintenance of a research laboratory computer network. Biochemistry
Research Positions, This work involved investigations of the biochemistry of blood coagulation, especially the effects of thromboplastin and fibrinogen, with special emphasis on solid phase peptide synthesis and membrane lipoprotein extraction and purification.
