... Prior to joining the Boeing Company in 1997, she spent five years in airport consulting at KPMG Peat Marwick and TRA/Black & Veatch, four years at The MITRE Corporation supporting the FAA Office of System Capacity and Requirements, and five years at NASA Ames Research Center doing research in air traffic control. She is currently working on developing avionics and ground infrastructure requirements for conducting independent parallel approaches to closely spaced parallel runways.
From page 67...
... His recent professional activity has centered on the design, development, and manufacture of orbital launch vehicles and the overall architecture of a space transportation system. He joined Orbital Sciences Corporation in 1986 as Chief Engineer and later became Vice President of Engineering, Senior Vice President of the Space Systems Division, Senior Vice President for Advanced Projects, and Senior Vice President and Chief Technical Officer.
From page 68...
... He is a member of the Editorial Board of Air Traffic Control Quarterly and was a member of a National Academy of Public Administration Panel to Assess FAA Program Management Capabilities. He holds a PhD in aeronautical engineering from Princeton University.
From page 69...
... His research focuses on issues concerned with design of cooperative problem-solving systems to support people in performing complex tasks such as information retrieval, planning, database exploration, and diagnosis while using fields such as aviation, medicine, library systems, and education as test beds. He is a member of the NRC Committee on Human-Systems Integration and served on the Committee to Study the FAA's Methodologies for Estimating Air Traffic Controller Staffing Standards.
From page 70...
... His current research centers on aviation demand modeling for the Next Generation Air Transportation System and airspace and airfield simulation modeling. He holds a BS in aeronautical engineering from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and an MS in systems engineering and a PhD in transportation engineering from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
