Certified Professional Ergonomist (CPE), 10/18/09 originally, renewed 10/2014. Expires 10/2018 DISSERTATION

Quantification of the exposure‐response relationships of the primary risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome Quantified exposure levels of occupational, personal, and psychosocial risk factors for CTS in a catfish processing facility

utilizing various techniques. Equations were developed using regression and fuzzy logic to predict risk associated with diagnoses and symptomology of CTS within this working population. Various accuracy measures were assessed and the models validated using exposures from other work tasks in the facility.

An Investigation of the Relationship between Time Stress and Fatigue. January 1999‐May 1999. Analyzed the effects of time stress on total body fatigue during a data entry task. Employed various subjective and objective measures of mental and physical fatigue, estimated total body fatigue using fuzzy logic and the analytical hierarchy process, and determined the effect of fatigue on operator errors. An Investigation of the Effects of Total Body Fatigue on Human Reliability. August 1997‐October 1999. Developed appropriate models to accurately assess total body fatigue and measure human reliability for use in introducing ergonomic interventions in industry to reduce fatigue and improve human reliability. Research Sponsored by the National Science Foundation. United Technologies, Columbus, Mississippi. August 1998‐December 1998. Responsible for conducting an ergonomic evaluation, task analysis, and developing ergonomic interventions for the prevention and control of occupational injuries and illnesses for the WWJ windshield wiper division. Also, supervised a group of industrial engineering Work Design students in performing task analyses and ergonomic interventions for a portion of this division. An Approach to Defining and Modeling Core Processes, Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. Master’s Thesis, May 1998. Developed a methodology for defining and modeling core processes. The methodology was developed in conjunction with a re‐engineering effort headed by NASA’s Stennis Space Center involving three other NASA sites that perform rocket propulsion testing. The project also included an investigation of the four sites response to change efforts. An Investigation of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome in the Field of Cosmetology. August 1997‐December 1997. Employed four provocative tests for detecting the presence of cubital tunnel syndrome in cosmetologists. A subjective questionnaire was also administered to identify any previous conditions contributing to a positive response. Occupational causal factors and ergonomic interventions were also developed to reduce the risk of developing cubital tunnel syndrome. Development of a Computer Program for Identifying the Presence of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. January 1996‐May 1996. Developed a web site that provided information on carpal tunnel syndrome. The site included basic information on carpal tunnel syndrome, a personal history questionnaire relating to risk factors of carpal tunnel syndrome, and instructions for performing provocative tests to detecting the presence of carpal tunnel syndrome. The results of the questionnaire and the tests were used to generate an estimation of the level of risk the individual was exposed to with respect to developing carpal tunnel syndrome.
