Dr. Steve Young
Equivalent Visual Flight Deck Technologies
As Principal Investigator for the IIFD project since 2005, Dr. Young
leads a team of NASA, industry, and academic researchers and scientists
who are working collaboratively in order to achieve its goal of
overcoming flight deck-related safety barriers that would otherwise
constrain future aerospace operations – such as those envisioned for the
Next Generation Air Transportation System.
Since 1993, Dr. Young has been a researcher at NASA in the field of
avionics systems engineering as applied to low visibility flight
operations. His investigations have ranged from analytical studies to
large-scale flight simulation and flight test experiments. Of particular
note are his advancement of the idea of a monitoring capability that
allows for the real-time validation of the geo-spatial models used by
Synthetic Vision Systems, and his work developing a runway incursion
detection and alerting capability that provides direct warnings to
pilots when these hazardous events become eminent during airport
operations.
Dr. Young has a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the West Virginia
Institute of Technology, an M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering
from Georgia Tech, and a Ph.D in Electrical Engineering, specializing in
Avionics Systems Engineering, from Ohio University. He is an Associate
Fellow of the AIAA and has authored more than 35 technical publications
across a range of disciplines including systems engineering, navigation
systems, remote sensing, safety-critical avionics, and flight
operations.
