    #54: Exploring Intelligent Software with Dick Stottler

    Dick co-founded Stottler Henke in 1988 as a software company dedicated to providing practical solutions to difficult problems by skillfully drawing upon a large repertoire of artificial intelligence technologies. Under Dick’s leadership, Stottler Henke has grown steadily and profitably into a 60-person research and software development company with distinctive expertise in automated planning and scheduling, intelligent tutoring systems, intelligent simulation, sensor data fusion, and autonomous systems. Dick combines a strong applied research record in artificial intelligence with practical experience in rapid and efficient knowledge engineering. He has led the development of intelligent tutoring systems that encode the expertise of instructors to provide practice-based learning and automated evaluation of student performance. Subject areas include navy tactics; army tactics, command, and control; sonar data analysis; astronaut training; helicopter cockpit operations; and battlefield emergency medicine. He led the development of intelligent planning systems for NASA space shuttle missions, satellite communications and sensor  scheduling, and aircraft assembly. He also led the development of intelligent systems that autonomously control groups of drones to automatically plan and execute tasks to achieve mission objectives and react to unpredictable events. Dick has written or presented more than 80 papers and articles for publications such as the proceedings of the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI). He received his BS in engineering from Cornell University and his MS in computer science (artificial intelligence) from Stanford University.

    #52: The Power of Asking “What Might Go Wrong?” with Tandi Bagian

    Tandi Bagian earned a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering from the University of Washington in 1979. She was employed by NASA’s Johnson Space Center and served as Lead Instructor for Astronaut Crew Training; Flight Projects Manager for the Space Biomedical Research Institute; and Head of the Crew Interface Analysis Section. This last position involved supervising six Human Factors Laboratories to support NASA’s Space Shuttle and Space Station missions. She also was a Principal Science Coordinator for Exploration Human Factors, and in that capacity informed the Agency’s Advanced Human Support Technology roadmap in preparation for Mars Exploration mission definition. In 1995, Tandi transferred from NASA to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and worked at the EPA’s National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory in Ann Arbor. Along the way, she earned a Master of Science in Industrial and Operations Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1999. In 2012, Tandi joined the Department of Veteran Affairs as Director, Human Factors Division for the VA National Center for Patient Safety. That team created an award-winning Patient Safety Boot Camp’ training for Biomedical Engineers across the entire VHA. With a vision to make sure patient safety is everyone’s business’, NCPS created strong technical partners across the over 170 VA Medical Centers, as well as with industry partners, to assist Healthcare professionals in providing ‘safer systems, safer care'. With 46 years of Federal Service, Ms. Bagian retired in 2022 and quickly became Associated with the NASA Engineering and Safety Center’s Human Factors Technical Discipline Team.  And this is where we met. This HF team is responsible for responding to requests for analysis and review of human factors issues across the NASA Centers and Commercial/International Partners committed to NASA’s Moon2Mars mission.

    #50: Strategies for thriving in uncertainty with Vaughn Tan

    Vaughn TAN is a consultant, author, toolmaker, and professor of strategy at University College London. For over a decade, Vaughn has helped businesses, not-for-profits, and government agencies — like the Singapore Government, Wellcome, and Carlyle Group — design themselves to flourish in uncertainty. He wrote The Uncertainty Mindset (a book about uncertainty and innovation organizations) and makes idk (a training tool for productive discomfort). He is currently working on building better strategies for different kinds of not-knowing. Vaughn has a PhD in Organizational Behavior and Sociology from Harvard University and Harvard Business School. He previously worked at Google in California on special projects (including spaceflight and big structured data) and consumer products (including Earth, Maps, and Streetview).
