Biography
Dr. Smith is recognized as an expert in aviation human factors, cognitive systems engineering, collaborative decision making, human-automation and human-AI interaction, and the design of distributed work systems. He has years of experience conducting research and development in collaboration with FAA traffic flow managers and air traffic controllers at ATCSCC, ARTCCs, TRACONs and ATCTs, as well as airline ATC coordinators, dispatchers, ramp controllers and pilots. These projects have included the use of observational studies at FAA facilities, structured interviews, cognitive walkthroughs, human-in-the-loop simulation studies and field trials, along with the development and evaluation of research prototypes as well as the development of operational systems for the FAA. His current research includes the development of human factors guidance on the integration of machine learning and artificial intelligence into FAA systems.
