PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

SJSU Foundation (1998 - Present) - NASA Ames Research Center.

As Senior Research Assistant and Principal Investigator for San Jose State University at NASA Ames Research Center, I have worked on a number of concurrent projects aimed at augmenting and refining human performance models of operator performance on complex tasks, and on augmenting human performance model capabilities by developing behavior modifiers as they relate to behavior predictions in the various environmental contexts. I have been responsible for guiding the model development process by identifying, organizing, classifying and communicating the Human Factors-relevant research on the behavior modifiers and on time estimation needed to develop realistic predictions of operator behavior to a team of computer developers. I have also worked externally with other Federal Agencies to outline the required simulation development environments and internally with other ARC laboratories (Intelligent Spacecraft Interface Systems Laboratory – the ISIS Lab) to gain the information needed to develop the MIDAS simulations. Acting as the point of contact for NASA’s Man-machine Integration Design and Analysis System (MIDAS), I have served in multiple roles from a number of different programs for SJSU and NASA as outlined below.

Office of Safety and Mission Assurance
Role – Senior Research Associate and Principal Investigator. Human and System Risk Modeling: Integration of Predictive Human and System Error Modeling Tools for Space Application Domains. Brian is responsible for leading the NASA HQ work on developing a model of operator performance in space system design and exploring linkages with PRA/HRA analysis methods. The output of this project is designed to augment the MIDAS model by developing performance-influencing models that degrade performance as a function of gravitational effects on performance and as a function of fatigue and other environmental effects (microgravity). This project requires interacting with Idaho National Laboratory to accurately represent the manner that a human operates with advanced display concepts on the Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV).

Aviation Safety Program
Role – Senior Research Associate and Principal Investigator. Brian was responsible for leading a cockpit procedural specification for routine operations for a MIDAS model and demonstration as part of the AvSSP. These procedures will be augmented with the future Concept of Operations (CONOPS) determined as a separate project and are going to be modeled in the MIDAS architecture.

Aviation Security Program
Role – Senior Research Associate and Principal Investigator. Brian was responsible for leading the development of a MIDAS Aviation Security simulation plan and working with MIDAS developers to encode an Aviation Security scenario that included a static simulation specification of an aircraft that entered into a no-fly zone.

Lawrence Livermore Security
Role – Senior Research Associate and Principal Investigator. Brian was responsible for working on evaluating and developing the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories’ Human Factors Requirements for a usable aviation threat detection system associated with identifying and detecting potential terrorist threats against the National Airspace System.

In addition to working NASA specific projects, Brian has also worked to augment the MIDAS model through generating a proposal with the Air Force Research laboratory that is designed to produce more valid human shape descriptors within MIDAS. This proposal made it to the final round of reviews but was not funded.
