Abridged Curriculum Vitae
Dr. Alan R. Pinkus was a Senior Engineering Research Psychologist who, after working at Systems Research Laboratories, began his Federal career as an ergonomic specialist for the Aeronautical Systems Division, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, in 1982. As a human factors engineer, he worked on major weapon systems including LANTIRN, KE-3, Gunship 2, Air Force One, & the E-8 Joint STARS. While at that position, he also developed the Mil-Prime Specification for Interior & Exterior Aircraft Lighting. In 1986 he transferred to Armstrong Laboratory as a research psychologist concentrating on applied vision challenges. As a researcher, he worked in the areas of image display metrics, night vision goggles, apparent motion models, aircraft lighting, transparency analysis, test method standardization, vision from space, & the visual psychophysics of multispectral image enhancement. A large portion of his work focused on integration issues for night vision goggles & aerospace transparencies. Also during this time period, he earned his PhD in Experimental Psychology from Miami University. Alan has lectured multiple times in Europe & Asia for NATO on the topics of night vision goggle human factors integration, aircraft lighting, display analysis, & rotary-wing brownout mitigation. He received the USAF Science & Engineering Award in 1999 for his significant contributions to the testing & integration of night vision goggles with advanced weapon systems. Dr. Pinkus was presented with the Award of Merit from & was made a Fellow of the American Society for Testing & Materials International in 2004 for his committee work in the development & publishing of multiple test standards. He also was given the NATO Science & Technology Organization, Human Factors Medical Panel Excellence Award for work on "Rotary-wing Brownout Mitigation: Technologies & Training," in 2014. His most recent research efforts were in the areas of multispectral imaging systems, human visual performance test methodologies for digital image fusion, visual search paradigms, & vision through the atmosphere modeling. He has 90 publications & 29 patents. After eight years as a contractor & 35 years of Federal service, both for the United States Air Force, Alan happily retired on January 3, 2017.
