Dr. Morison is experienced in cognitive systems engineering, computer vision, and human perception. For the past three years he has operated as Mile Two’s Chief Science Officer, performing research and development and guiding the cognitive systems engineering process for the company. He is experienced in visual analytics, human-machine teaming, cognitive design cycle, and cognitive task analysis and has designed and built computational models of attention that function over wide-area sensor data. Dr. Morison has supported Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) research and development (R&D) efforts for over eight years.

More specifically, Dr. Morison has designed and built interactive visualizations to support visual analysis of hyperspectral data for intelligence analysis and designed cognitive workflow support tools for FMV operations and I&W analysis. He is skilled in conducting cognitive task analysis and has applied knowledge acquisition and field research techniques to investigate sensemaking, perception, and attention across the intelligence analysis, robotics and cybersecurity domains. He has conducted research on analyst interpretation of algorithm output for the 711th Human Performance Wing Airman Systems Directorate. Dr. Morison’s vast body of publications include works on human-sensor-computational systems; computational models of attention; visual analytics; cognitive support tools; and black box automation research and its impact on joint system performance.
