About
I am currently completing my PhD in Industrial Engineering; Aviation Human Factors at Purdue University (Expected 2011). I hold a BS in Psychology from Linfield College and an MS in Aviation Human Factors from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My primary focus is in flight deck design for helicopter, tiltrotor, and fixed wing aircraft. I specialize in inceptor design for vehicle control, interface design, and flight symbology. Other fields of interest include high consequence vehicle operations and COTS technology application in system design. I currently hold rotary and fixed wing pilot licenses in the U.S. and Chile with ~500 hours in over 20 type of aircraft.
