Lewis Associate Professor of Cognitive Engineering, Aerospace Engineering Joint Associate Professor Industrial and Systems Engineering, and Former Director of NASA\u0027s Aviation Safety Program.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAbstract: The Director of NASA\u0027s Aviation Safety Program acts not just as the program\u0027s executive, but also serves several policy functions.  One is co-chairing the \u0027Aviation Safety\u0027 Interagency Working Group of the Aeronautics Science and Technology Subcommittee within the Committee of Technology convened by the National Science and Technology Council, and thus authoring the chapter on Aviation Safety within the Office of Science and Technology Policy\u0027s National Aeronautics R \u0026amp; D Plan.  Another is serving on the executive committee or advisory board of several public-private partnerships, including the Commercial Aviation Safety Team (CAST) and the Aviation Safety Information  Analysis and Sharing (ASIAS) initiative.  In this talk, Amy Pritchett will discuss her experiences in these capacities while on an IPA to NASA.  Of note, several interesting intersections of technology and policy will be explored, including the role of aviation safety research as an enabler of the aviation industry, and trade-offs between various public and private mechanisms for analyzing proprietary flight data for emerging safety concerns.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFuture speakers in the series\u003Cbr \/\u003E\no January, 2012, Rob Butera (ECE) and Maggie Kosal (INTA) on biosecurity policy\u003Cbr \/\u003E\no February, 2012, Christine Ries, (ECON) on setting state tax policy\u003Cbr \/\u003E\no March, 2012, Mark Myer (CEE) on transportation policy\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.policy.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EPolicy@Tech\u003C\/a\u003E is a consortium of Georgia Tech\u0027s five policy research centers, working together to increase Georgia Tech\u0027s impact in public policy.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EPolicy@Tech speaker series with Amy Pritchett, \u0022The Intersection of Technology and Policy in Aviation Safety\u0022.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Policy@Tech speaker series with Amy Pritchett"}],"uid":"27184","created_gmt":"2011-10-24 00:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:56:24","author":"Jene Gladstone","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2011-11-01T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2011-11-01T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2011-11-01T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2011-11-01 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2011-11-01 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2011-11-01 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.policy.gatech.edu\/","title":"Policy@Tech"}],"groups":[{"id":"1285","name":"Sam Nunn School of International Affairs"},{"id":"1286","name":"Center for International Strategy, Technology, and Policy (CISTP)"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"14369","name":"Amy Pritchett"},{"id":"795","name":"CISTP"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"999","name":"IAC"},{"id":"851","name":"INTA"},{"id":"14862","name":"Policy@Tech"},{"id":"14863","name":"The Intersection of Technology and Policy in Aviation Safety"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBernard Gourley\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESam Nunn School of International Affairs\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:bernard.gourley@inta.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EContact Bernard Gourley\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404-894-5601\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
