I AM HFES

I use human factors/ergonomics to learn about the future of human-technology interactions and my favorite part of my job is working with students and trying to stay one step ahead of how society views and uses technology. HFES has provided me networking opportunities that have allowed me to learn from and collaborate with the leaders in the field. End Quote

RICHARD PAK
Professor, Clemson University, HFES Member for 20 Years

The contacts and technical network of resources that I have developed through HFES have helped me to identify new technologies and direct my lines of research to translate design concepts into implementable changes onto the factory floor. End Quote

JULIE GILPIN-MCMINN
Technical Fellow: Human Factors/Ergonomics Technology, Spirit AeroSystems, HFES Member for Over 20 Years

HFES has been my academic home since I started graduate school -- one in which the people whose thinking and writing I admire the most can often be found at the annual conference. Human factors/ergonomics allows me to pursue my interest in understanding people, but in a practical way that improves the lives of others; integrating the best of people with the best of technology.
