(Page in progress)

                  Through my coursework in Engineering Forensics, I delved into various human factors theories and models, such as the Swiss Cheese Model (also known as the HFACS model). This allowed me to study the concept of operations and conduct accident analyses on interfaces of airplanes, trains, ships, and cars.

As part of the coursework, I presented five incidents that greatly contributed to understanding human factors concepts. These experiences emphasized the fallibility of humans and the critical importance of designing interfaces with this in mind.

Scrolling down, you will find more details about these cases and my specific contributions to the presentations.
