Chen Ling is an Associate Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Akron 's College of Engineering and Polymer Science. Formerly an Assistant Professor at the University of Oklahoma's Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, her work focuses on cognitive systems engineering and human decision-making in aviation and weather systems , with funding from the FAA, NSF, DOT, and DOC. Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering, Purdue University (2006) M.S. in Industrial Engineering, North Carolina A&T State University (2001) B.S. in Aeronautics and Astronautics, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (1996) Her research explores human-computer interaction , weather risk communication , and ergonomics , particularly in aviation and severe weather contexts. Recent work examines probabilistic hazard information (PHI) systems for tornado warnings, forecasters' mental workload, and collaborative weather warning protocols. She employs simulation modeling, cognitive task analysis, and usability experiments to enhance safety in complex systems. Key trends in her publications include: Development of FACETs-era convective warning systems Integration of automated guidance in National Weather Service operations Human performance assessment using EEG and wearable sensors Usability optimization for weather displays and paratransit applications Dr. Ling is a member of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) and the Institute of Industrial Engineering (IIE) , with research spanning from 2006 to 2025 across journals like Behavior and Information Technology and International Journal of Human-Computer Studies .
