Teaching a course in Automated Vehicle Systems this semester University of Iowa UIowa Engineering. First assignment part of my 'Haiku engineering' series—they wrote a Haiku about the 1938 Gibson and Crooks Field of Safe Travel theory of driving.

Thanks to MIT AgeLab for hosting Zach Noonan from UIowa Engineering and TourAmericaDrivingSimulator. His lecture on 'A game theoretic approach to behavior planning in vehicle automation' was well received. Great audience and questions!

Congrats to two of our students Emily Shull and Zach Noonan for winning the Professor J. Richard Simon Scholarship of $2,000 each. Zach also started a prestigious fellowship at MIT this week! Read more about their graduate work at nads.uiowa.edu/our-people/stu… UIowa Engineering Daniel V McGehee

Congrats to two of my PhD students for winning the J Richard Simon scholarship. Professor Simon would have loved their research and would also be excited for their futures in human factors! x.com/DrivingSim/sta…

Congratulations to Dr. Christopher Rundes, a newly minted PhD of mine in ISE here at UIowa Engineering! His research used TourAmericaDrivingSimulator NADS and on-road studies. He wrote four papers and has one patent from his dissertation. He will join Gulfstream Aerospace as a Human Factors Engineer.
