WELCOME Dr. McNeese is currently the Director of the Collaborative Design Technologies Laboratory of the Armstrong Laboratory/Human Engineering Division. He has more than 20 years of experience in the areas of cognitive science, human factors engineering, and design science, besides more than 50 publications on diverse facets of human behavior. During this time his responsibilities have included the management of various AF interdisciplinary research teams, directing knowledge elicitation and concept mapping activities, the technical supervision of human factors engineering in systems acquisition (e.g., the KC-10 and NGT programs), scientific consulting and review of basic and applied research programs (e.g., the Pilot's Associate and Cockpit Automation Technology programs), the chief editing and writing of the ASC Human-Computer Interaction Mil-Prime Standard, and the development of cognitive engineering and tachistoscopic display technologies. His research activities have spanned across aspects of human-computer interaction, user-centered design, memory and comprehension, cooperative learning, artificial intelligence, and group problem-solving. His research has resulted in the design of group-centered paradigms, cognitive engineering methods and tools, and a social ecology view of design team interaction. Dr. McNeese has been a member of the DOD Human Factors Engineering Technical Advisory Group for the last 13 years, serving as an expert in the user-computer interface and manned systems modeling subgroups.
