How did you make the decision to become a Yellow Jacket?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/h5\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThank you! It\u2019s truly an honor to be a member of the Yellow Jacket family. My decision to join Georgia Tech was driven by the fact that it offers one of the leading engineering programs in the nation, particularly in ISyE and mechanical engineering. I was also intrigued by the unique opportunity to collaborate with both schools to enhance the interdisciplinary nature of my work. And of course I\u2019m excited to experience Southern culture, hospitality, and life in Atlanta.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch5\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EYou have a joint appointment in the Woodruff School and ISyE \u2013 can you tell us more about that?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/h5\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMy research is directly related to ISyE\u2019s new area of specialization, human-centered systems engineering, as well as the Woodruff School\u2019s research area group, computer-aided engineering\u0026nbsp;and design. I\u2019m very excited to contribute to both. I am appointed two-thirds with ISyE and one-third with the Woodruff School. I will be contributing to setting up and operationalizing an extended reality (XR)\/human sensing and modeling lab in ISyE and an XR educational lab in the Woodruff School. I will also be offering two cross-listed courses between both schools: Human-Integrated Systems (HIS) and Extended Reality for Engineering (XRE). HIS covers topics such as general cognitive systems engineering concepts and principles, interface design, task analysis, prototyping, and empirical usability evaluation methods. XRE covers XR concepts, hardware, software, industrial applications, user experience\/user interface\u0026nbsp;design, C# programming, Unity development, virtual reality\/augmented reality interaction design, app development, prototyping, and a hands-on project.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor the full interview go to \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/me.gatech.edu\/news\/faculty-spotlight-gary-c-butler-family-associate-professor-mohsen-moghaddam\u0022\u003Ehere\u003C\/a\u003E.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EGet to know one of the Industrial Engineering School\u0027s newest faculty members.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Get to know one of the Industrial Engineering School\u0027s newest faculty members."}],"uid":"36284","created_gmt":"2025-03-10 18:06:50","changed_gmt":"2025-03-10 18:17:37","author":"chenriquez8","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","location":"Atlanta, GA","dateline":{"date":"2025-03-04T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2025-03-04T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"676511":{"id":"676511","type":"image","title":"Mohsen Moghaddam","body":null,"created":"1741630546","gmt_created":"2025-03-10 18:15:46","changed":"1741630546","gmt_changed":"2025-03-10 18:15:46","alt":"Mohsen Moghaddam","file":{"fid":"260310","name":"MM-Large-Medium.jpeg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/2025\/03\/10\/MM-Large-Medium.jpeg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/2025\/03\/10\/MM-Large-Medium.jpeg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":78972,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/2025\/03\/10\/MM-Large-Medium.jpeg?itok=uRJJqCGh"}}},"media_ids":["676511"],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.isye.gatech.edu\/users\/mohsen-moghaddam","title":"Mohsen Moghaddam"}],"groups":[{"id":"1242","name":"School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISYE)"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39541","name":"Systems"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAshley Ritchie, Communications Manager, Mechanical Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECamille Carpenter, Communications Manager, Industrial and Systems Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
