Carl Westin

254 Biography ing the following years Carl participated in several EUROCONTROL-led research projects. With a growing interest into research he soon started exploring academic op- tions. In 2008 he started his part time M.Sc. studies in Applied Ergonomics and Human Factors at the school of Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Engi- neering, Nottingham University (United Kingdom). For his thesis he investigated air traffic controllers’ reliability in complexity judgments. He obtained his MSc degree (with distinction) in July 2012. In 2011 he (as a CHPR researcher) was part of an international consortium awarded research funds as part of the EUROCONTROL-led SESAR WP-E long term and innovative research program. The MUFASA project explored how ATM automation acceptance and usage was affected by three factors: traffic complexity, level of automation, and strategic conformance. Being highly successful, the MU- FASA project went on to be extended for a second round, ultimately ended in 2015. The project brought him close to Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands), one of the consortium members, and in 2013 he enrolled as a PhD student at the Fac- ulty of Aerospace Engineering. It provided an excellent opportunity to combine the MUFASA project and extend it with a PhD. Today he is still working as a pilot for Norwegian Air Shuttle, with over 5,000 jet hours. Furthermore, he is still employed with CHPR. Since 2017 he is also em- ployed as a research engineer with Link¨opings University, the division of Media and Information Technology at the Department of Science and Technology. He is cur- rently working with self-explanatory automation and eye-tracking technologies for the purpose of facilitating new and effective training concepts in highly automated safety-critical domains.
