Extractions: Human Factors Engineering and Ergonomics is concerned with ways of designing jobs, machines, operations, environments or work systems so they are compatible with human capabilities and limitations. The Human Factors Engineering and Ergonomics Center (HFEEC) is comprised of a consortium of nine research laboratories and supporting facilities, and is a major international center of excellence for research in human factors engineering and ergonomics. At Virginia Tech and its College of Engineering, the Center, its faculty, and students are major contributors to key strategic initiatives including biomedical research and information systems research. The Center conducted approximately $2.5 million in research projects in 2002-2003. In addition, it is supported by grants from the UPS Foundation and NIOSH. The Center recently led an effort to receive a $3.4 million award from NIOSH in the area of construction safety and health. (click here for more information) Recent research sponsors include:

Extractions: Links You Might Like My Work Page My Online CV My Publications This may be a strange way to tell you about myself, but I do tend to use my trips as milestones in my life, and they are as good a place as any to hang some of my story upon. My parents started me off travelling when I was very young, driving my brother and sister and I around Canada and the USA. With my grade school and high school I continued my journies on our annual two week tours, going as far afield as Switzerland and Germany, and heading west (Saskatoon, Winnipeg, etc), east (Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Labrador), and south (New York City, New England), and even a bit north in Ontario. It was a fun school. During our undergraduate years my high-school sweetheart Brian and I went skiing in Vermont and Quebec, and later visited Cuba, Costa Rica, and Mexico, and even spent 3 months touring Britain and Europe, including Scotland, my Mother's birthplace, and Croatia, my Father's. On that first trip I got as far as Greece, and really had a great time. I wasn't really out then, which seems a bit odd since I'd been with Brian for six years then, but that's the kind of strange contradiction that happens when you grow up gay in a straight world.
