Dr. Bruce Bradtmiller, a physical anthropologist, is the owner and president of ANTHROTECH (formerly named Anthropology Research Project, Inc.), a small business engaged in the collection, analysis, and application of human body size data to ergonomics, design, and sizing problems. Since joining the firm in 1983 Dr. Bradtmiller has designed, conducted, and directed a number of military and civilian body size surveys and other anthropometric research projects. Currently he is conducting a pilot study concerning the fit of protective fall-harnesses for construction workers, in which traditional measurements and whole-body scans are being taken. Most recently he completed a nationwide school bus driver study in which 34 measurements were taken on 1,500 drivers. Dr. Bradtmiller also designed and directed several three-dimensional head-and-face surveys, using computerized laser scanning techniques. ANTHROTECH recently completed a nationwide 3-D survey of children's heads for the Snively Foundation aimed at developing standard head forms for the bicycle industry. He served as lead investigator for the U.S. Army's landmark survey of 9,000 troops, and managed a variety of support projects for the U.S. Air Force. He also directed a study of luxury car buyers for Jaguar Cars Ltd. Dr. Bradtmiller is a specialist in glove sizing and design. Working with Midwest Quality Glove Co., and Arthur D. Little Co. in a series of protective handwear projects, he developed the techniques for creating sewn glove patterns from anthropometric data. The resulting gloves have been adopted by the U.S. Army and are being tested by the U.S. Navy. He served as a partner in the Defense Logistic Agency's Apparel Research Network and is a member of the SAE committee on human body modeling, which is studying the next generation of auto and aircraft seating.

Clayton studied mathematics at Princeton (A.B. 1966) and MIT (M.S. 1968) before turning to experimental psychology at Michigan (Ph.D. 1978). The change grew out of his work at IBM Watson Research Center in the early seventies on the design of computer systems that would be easier to learn and use: at Watson he had been strongly influenced by John Gould and Lance Miller, two psychologist who were pioneers in bringing insights about cognition to bear on problems of systems design. After his Ph.D. studies (where Paul Green was a classmate and Dick Pew one of his teachers), Clayton returned to Watson and became Manager of Human Factors there. He and his colleagues did early work on methods for studying cognitive processes in computer use, playing a role in bringing the thinking aloud method out of university labs and into industry usability labs. In 1984 Clayton joined the Computer Science faculty in Boulder, where the Institute of Cognitive Science has facilitated many years of interdisciplinary collaboration with Peter Polson. Peter, Clayton, and their students have contributed to the development of cognitive models of computer use and associated design and evaluation methods, including the cognitive walkthrough and the related programming walkthrough. Clayton and his students have recently been applying these ideas to the development of computer supports for science learning by elementary school children. Clayton has twice served as Technical Program Chair for the ACM CHI conference on human factors in computing systems. Clayton retains an interest in math, especially math for kids; some of his ideas can be found at the following site: http://clayton.lewis.home.comcast.net/~clayton.lewis/mathetc.htm. |

Yili Liu is Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and Associate Professor of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan. He received his Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology and M.S. in Computer Science, both from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has taught courses and conducted research on a variety of human factors topics, and has published numerous articles in both applied journals such as Ergonomics in Design and theoretical ones such as Psychological Review. He is the co-author of Introduction to Human Factors Engineering (with Wickens, Lee and Becker), a textbook used at several universities. While studying various specific theoretical and applied topics, a main theme of his current research is developing a queueing network based unified theory and computational model of the human mind and behavior. The theory/model attempts to possess seven attributes: 1) real world relevance (e.g., the model can now drive a car simulator, perform visual search and transcription typing); 2) an underlying mathematical structure (as a queueing network); 3) computational power (able to generate and simulate behavior in real time); 4) neural and psychological evidence (as a theory/model of the human mind, not of a machine); 5) broad coverage of both overt behavior and covert mental activities (e.g., mental workload is visualized as flow congestions inside the queueing mental network); 6) ability to unify or bridge existing theories and models; and 7) an easy-to-use interface for practitioners. Yili is also carrying out research on engineering aesthetics. He is a recipient of the College of Engineering Education Excellence Award, College of Engineering Society of Women Engineers Teaching Excellence Award (two time recipient), and Alpha Pi Mu Professor of the Year Award (four time recipient). He is an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, and IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems. |

| Mark is an assistant professor in the School of Information at the University of Michigan. His research interests lie broadly in the field of human-computer interaction, and particularly in the areas of ubiquitous computing and end-user programming. Mark has attended Bryn Mawr College and subsequently received a BA in Philosophy from Macalester College (St. Paul) in 1992. He attended the University of Minnesota (Computer Science) and later UC Berkeley, receiving an MS in 1992 and PhD in 2007. From 2000-2007, he was a research scientist at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC, formerly known as Xerox PARC) and prior to that worked at Netraker Corporation (Sunnyvale), DEC, and Honeywell. Before you contact Mark, be aware that there is another Mark Newman at the University of Michigan. Mark E. J. Newman is in the physics department and does work in complex systems and network analysis (in the sense of graph theory, not TCP/IP). Mark W. Newman does HCI and ubiquitous computing research. Both Mark Newmans are interested in the social world, thus increasing the likelihood of confusion, but Mark W. tends to avoid the really hard math. Also, Mark W. never made an election map, even though he has been complimented on the other Mark Newman's maps a number of times now. |
