Your Speakers
David Nery
Human factors Engineer, HFESA
David is a Human Factors Engineer. He has an Honours Degree in Psychology, a Master’s Degree in Human Factors Engineering and is just completing a PhD in Engineering. His experience in safety engineering and human factors has been primarily focused on the safety critical industry sector with a particular focus on defence, transport and energy projects.
David’s goal is to have human factors integrated early in projects to de-risk schedule, cost and quality impacts that often occur when HF has not been considered early in design. Good human factors integration does not necessarily cost more, but including human centric requirements into design and having a human centred design process can produce efficient, safe, error resilient and effective designs. David will share some cases studies and practical examples from his experiences that highlight the benefits of early and effective HFI within design.
