Shawn Pruchnicki studies aviation safety and human factors, focusing on how pilots and other operators respond to unexpected or high-stress events, how simulation training can be designed to better prepare them, and how safety practices and 'just culture' accountability affect high-consequence industries like aviation and emergency medical services. This work combines psychology, engineering, and safety science to improve training, decision-making, and incident reporting in flight operations.
