*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
Join us at Ferst Place with Aerospace Engineering professor Karen Feigh for a complimentary lunch and enriching discussion addressing your professional and academic questions. Attendance is limited. If interested, please RSVP to wst.lrn.c@gmail.com.
Karen Feigh is an Associate Professor in the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering. She holds a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from Georgia Tech, a MPhil in Aeronautics from Cranfield University, UK, and a Ph.D. in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Georgia Tech. Karen has previously worked on fast-time air traffic simulation, conducted ethnographic studies of airline and fractional ownership operation control centers, and designed expert systems for air traffic control towers. Her doctoral work was conducted at Georgia Tech's Cognitive Engineering Center where she used cognitive engineering methods to improve support system design methods to more closely match the dynamic needs of airline operations managers to aid with recovery from irregular operations. Her awards include the Marshall scholarship and the AIAA Orville and Wilbur Wright Graduate award.
She is active in the design of cognitive work support systems for individuals and teams in dynamic socio-technical settings, including airline operations, air transportation systems, UAV and MAV ground control stations, mission control centers, and command and control centers.
