Earlier this year, Ph.D. Students Abhinay Paladugu (’24) and Connor Kannally (’27) were awarded 80k for their proposal titled “Urban Air Mobility Contingency Diagnosis Toolkit.” A more detailed store can be found on the ISE department news feed.

With the help of Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate students Izzy Furl (’24) and Luke McSherry(’24), the team is building out information visualization requirements for future Advanced Air Mobility command and control coordinators. The visualizations will be tested in a Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) simulation to determine information design’s role in affecting future operators’ cognitive work.

Abhinay Paladugu, a Ph.D. student and researcher in CSEL, presented on June 1st at the International Symposium on Aviation Psychology (ISAP) held in Rochester, NY. Abhinay’s paper, co-authored by Dr. Martijn IJtsma, Alicia Fernandez, Stuart Wilson, Thomas Davis, and Jarrod Lichty, is titled “Evaluating Envisioned Air Mobility Architectures using Computational Simulations of Work”. The work deals with how we can use more formative modeling techniques along with simulation to look at some of the emergent system properties. This will help us better evaluate the dynamics associated with the system.

99P Labs, backed by both Honda and The Ohio State University, is collaborating with CSEL to design novel solutions for the optimal integration of technology and human users in a mobility context. The project will develop several alternative human-AI teaming capabilities for an envisioned mobility application. These alternatives will be evaluated in a driver-in-the-loop experiment to analyze what AI capabilities best support interaction and coordination with human users.

The Fall 2022 BuckISE newsletter featured five articles about the work conducted by current and former members of CSEL:

• Dr. Mike Rayo (Faculty) – ‘Engineering, Nursing Team Up to Transform Medical Training Through XR, AI, ML’
• Alex Morison (Alumni) – ‘Morison Finds Dream Work in Developing ‘Cool Stuff”
• David Woods (Faculty) – ‘Woods Delivers Presentation for Adobe Tech Summit 2022’ and ‘Two ISE Professors Named Titans of Human Factors’
• Dr. Martijn IJtsma (Faculty) – ‘Future of Air Mobility Latest NASA-ISE Collaboration’
• Jacob Keller (Master’s Student) – ‘ISE Grad Student Helps Support NASA’s Artemis Lunar Venture’

Jacob Keller, a CSEL MS student, recently in-press to be published paper in the Journal of Space Safety Engineering titled “Examining autonomous flight safety systems from a cognitive systems engineering perspective: Challenges, themes, and outlying risks”. The paper is co-authored by CSEL faculty member, Dr. Martijn IJtsma and the executive director of the Battelle Center for Science, Engineering, and Public Safety, Dr. Elizabeth Newton. The student-led research highlighted in this paper was in part sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Office of Commercial Space Transportation (AST).

This week students and faculty members from CSEL attended the Human Factors and Ergonomics 66th International Annual Meeting in Atlanta, GA.

The Cognitive Systems Engineering Lab (CSEL) is looking for participants for an experiment on coordination under time pressure, with the goal of better supporting coordination in high-stakes operations such as air traffic control and manned spaceflight operations.
