Joined Soar Technology in 2001 upon completing his Master's degree in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) at Carnegie Mellon University. His research focuses on the use of agent-based systems for information visualization of, and human interaction with, complex knowledge-rich environments including C4ISR, data fusion, and military simulation. Mr. Zaientz also is interested in human internal, external and shared knowledge representations. He has over eight years of experience in Human Computer Interaction, analyzing, designing and implementing applications and application interfaces for a wide range of industries, including financial, legal, insurance, commercial, scientific, DoD, NASA, and the intelligence services. He has managed over $2M in R&D contracts and is currently Principle Investigator for the BINAH (Battlespace Information Notification through Adaptive Heuristics) project. BINAH is a data fusion pipeline and display testbed that reasons about warfighter context for dynamic display configuration. He has participated in numerous projects exploring mechanisms for configuring, collaborating with, displaying, and interpreting intelligent agent and cognitive model behavior. He is a member of the Association for Computer Machinery Special Interest Group on Computer Human Interaction, Association for Computer Machinery Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics, the Cognitive Science Society, and the American Association for Artificial Intelligence. He is the current Chair for the ACM SIGCHI local chapter MOCHI (Michigan, Ohio, Computer Human Interaction). He is the HCI Sector Lead at Soar Tech. |
