Dong-Han Ham

Dr. Dong-Han Ham was part of the academic staff at Middlesex University's Computer Science department. His research focuses on human factors, cognitive ergonomics, and safety-critical systems, particularly in nuclear power plant operations and decision support systems. He has contributed to frameworks for usability evaluation, human error analysis, and visual analytics.

Key research interests include human-system interaction, task complexity analysis, and applying systems theory to improve safety and efficiency in complex environments. He has developed methodologies like the MaRMI-III framework for component-based software development and the TACOM extension for nuclear plant task analysis.

His work often intersects with big data applications, such as extracting human reliability data from incident reports using Safety-II concepts. He has also explored usability in mobile interfaces and the design of physical controls for process systems.

Ham has organized conferences like ECCE 2007 and contributed to editorial roles in journals. His research emphasizes practical applications of theoretical models, aiming to bridge gaps between cognitive science and engineering systems.
