Biography
Dr. Kenneth Jackson is a human factors psychologist whose research focus is centered on physical-cognitive multitasking and modeling human performance with the introduction of novel technologies in operational environments. Additionally, Dr. Jackson is interested in how game engines, game design principles, and virtual environments (VR/AR) can be leveraged as testbeds for understanding human behavior in complex environments, such as high-risk environments or those requiring human-automation teaming.
Prior to joining the faculty at Loyola Marymount University’s Department of Psychological Science, Dr. Jackson worked as a human factors engineer at organizations including Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory’s health and human-machine systems group, Intuitive (Surgical), and Edwards Lifesciences. There, he applied principles of human factors engineering and user-centered design to the development of technology practices and measures used by specialized populations.
