Dr. Narayanan joined Wright
State University (WSU) in Fall 1994 and became the Professor and Chair of
the Biomedical, Industrial, and Human Factors Engineering department at
WSU in fall 2002. He received his Ph.D. in industrial and systems
engineering from The Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta in 1994. His
research interests are in the area of designing interactive systems to aid
humans in performing cognitively complex tasks such as planning,
information retrieval and synthesis, and troubleshooting. His research has
an interdisciplinary thrust with the following themes: cognition,
computational representation, interactivity, and application. Domains of
application of his research include discrete manufacturing, Air Force
Logistics, aviation, and navigation through heterogeneous information
sources. He directs the Interactive Systems Modeling and Simulation
Laboratory within the Department of Biomedical, Industrial and Human
Factors Engineering at Wright State University.
He received his bachelor's
degree in mechanical engineering from the Regional Institute of
Technology, Jamshedpur, India in 1987 and the M.S. degree in Industrial
Engineering from the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, and the Georgia
Institute of Technology, Atlanta in 1989 and 1991, respectively. He
received his doctoral degree in industrial and systems engineering from
Georgia Tech in 1994. He is a member of Association for Computing
Machinery , Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Systems,
Man, and Cybernetics Society, Institute of Industrial Engineers , Human
Factors and Ergonomics Society, Society for Modeling and Simulation
International, Alpha Pi Mu, and Phi Kappa Phi.
