Dr. Richard Stone is an Associate Professor in Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering, at Iowa State University, Ames, IA, USA. He is also the Director & Co-Founder of the ATHENA Lab. He received his Ph.D. in Industrial and Systems Engineering from the University of Buffalo in 2008, and an MS in Information Technology (with a concentration in Robotics and W/M programming), from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2001. The core of his research is in human performance enhancement in both physical and mental domains. He employs multiple approaches toward this goal, including cognitive and physiological engineering, classical and experimental ergonomics, augmented reality, and the incorporation and application of new technologies. His past research has involved the development of design methodologies for AR and multisensory devices, telerobotic control system development, the application of biomechanics for improved sports performance, and the development of visualization tools for improving battle space awareness.
