Research summary
AI-generated

Debra Henneberry studies human factors and safety in aviation and transportation, focusing on how people, automation, and artificial intelligence interact in areas like accident investigation, air traffic control, and emerging eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft. Her work examines human performance, certification standards, and the design of safety management systems for increasingly automated and AI-assisted transport environments. Much of her recent output addresses how AI tools can support investigations, training simulations, and high-reliability transportation systems.
