Biography
Greg A. Jamieson has B.Sc. degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Psychology (1996, with Distinction) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After a brief internship at the Battelle Seattle Research Center, he joined the Cognitive Engineering Laboratory (CEL) at the U of T to pursue an MASc degree (1998). During 1998-1999, Greg was a Research Associate at Honeywell Labs in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He returned to CEL in 1999 as a Ph.D. Candidate while working as a Research Scientist for Honeywell Labs. Greg completed his Ph.D. in 2002 and joined the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering as an Assistant Professor. The focus of Greg’s research has been human factors in process control, particularly with regards to interface design and human-automation interaction. His research goals are to extend the empirical basis for work domain-based interface design frameworks, and promote a theory-based design framework for effective human-automation-plant interaction. In 2003, the Canadian Foundation for Innovation and the Ontario Innovations Trust awarded Greg and Professor Kim Choo (Lambton College) a New Opportunities infrastructure grant. With contributions from industry partners, the nearly $400,000 in funds supported the creation of a process control simulator to develop new applications to support effective plant operations. The simulator allows Greg to continue work that has netted publications in journals, conference proceedings, three patent awards, and a host of articles and patent applications under review. Greg shares his enthusiasm for human factors through his teaching, service, and community involvement. He teaches two undergraduate and one graduate course in human factors, advises thesis students on diverse topics, and promotes the study of human factors as integral to engineering education. Greg presents on human factors to professional organizations, industry groups, students, and the public.
