Areas of expertise
- Human Factors
Background
Research Fellow in Flight Simulation at Cranfield University with a PhD in Applied Integrative Data Analysis (graduated with distinction). Currently working on a new Future Systems Simulator with Rolls Royce under PINES project (Powerplant Integration of Novel Engine Systems).
Postgraduate of the Silesian University of Technology in Poland and Cranfield University, with a broad computer science background in both software and hardware aspects, proficient in computer graphics, design, flight simulation, human factors and software engineering. Skilled in a variety of applications and environments.
Research opportunities
Flight simulation, software engineering, Human-Machine Interface, Human Factors, Statistical Analysis
Current activities
Involvement in Single-Pilot Operations (SPO), Development of liquid hydrogen (LH2) interface for an aircraft, Powerplant Integration of Novel Engine Systems (PINES) and Open Flight Deck (OFD) projects.
Individual research into human-machine interface systems in the Future Systems Simulator.
I've collaborated with colleagues from numerous groups and centres (such as Centre for Autonomous and Cyberphysical Systems, Human Factors Group and Safety and Accident Investigation Centre (SAIC)) and with our industrial partners - Rolls-Royce and DCA Design International.
