Dissertation Chair: Dr. Jennie J. Gallimore• Completed the FAA research project to establish human factors guidelines and requirements for the presentation of datalink communication (DataComm) information on next-generation flight decks for civil airplane; performed literature review, investigated cutting-edge HMI technologies, developed test flight deck displays (static, animated) collaborating with computer programmers, developed test scenarios (flight plans), conducted experiments and statistical analyses, wrote project reports, and mentoring two master’s students on running research projects; published the final report on the FAA website and three conference papers; participated in three projects (1) Evaluation of text messages for data communication during flight operations; applied human factors theories related to the interpretation of text and text + graphics, Sept. 2010 – Aug. 2013 (2) Evaluation of animated graphics on aircraft navigation display; applied human factors theories of animated graphics compared with static graphics, Sept. 2010-Aug. 2013 (3) Development of novel flight deck displays for 4-dimensional trajectory-based operation in Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen), Sept. 2013 – Apr. 2015; designed visual displays considering situation awareness of space and time information; applied the proximity compatibility principle (PCP), human perception of text vs. graphics, and the properties of human brain portion that processes the concurrent space and time cues

Academic advisor: Dr. Tonya L. Smith-Jackson (currently a professor at North Carolina A&T State University)• Reviewed literature, developed test programs and protocols, constructed test apparatuses, conducted experiments, and analyzed test data; published four conference papers; participated in four projects (1) Study of the 3rd-person shooter game for assessment of sensemaking using a simulation of command & control: investigate human sensemaking attributes for decision-making (2) Usability study of a public safety cognitive radio: designed and evaluated human subjective perception during multi-channel communication (3) Study of bone conduction earphone for outdoor safety; evaluated situation awareness properties (4) Study of cultural ergonomics for product design: investigated human perception of cultural aspects for product design
