EXPERIENCE SUMMARY
Dr. Fain has led or assisted in a variety of research programs ranging from the design of fixed and
rotary wing crew interfaces to applied research in the field of accessible design. Dr. Fain is the
Director of Georgia Tech’s HomeLab research initiative and currently leads a team of researchers
pioneering research into issues and products design to assist with successful aging in place. Dr.
Fain led the Rapid Equipping Force’s (REF) blast data analysis project which developed new
techniques and algorithms to support the analysis of IED blast data captured by the DARPA blast
gauge and the IBESS sensor suite.
Dr. Fain led the technical portion of the EAC’s Military Heroes Initiative to search for new
technologies that would allow recently wounded soldiers to place a private and secure vote. Dr.

Fain served as the technical director of the EAC’s Accessible Voting Technology Initiative (AVTI) to
develop technologies solutions that facilitate accessible voting for the general population. The
AVTI resulted in the development of a voting system test bed used to conduct accessibility
research for ballot design and novel hardware design. Dr. Fain currently leads a NIST research
grant to determine best practices for quantifying and certifying the accessibility and usability of
new voting systems.
Dr. Fain led the development of the Arthritis Simulation Glove. The glove is an educational tool
allowing those that wear the gloves to experience the functional limitations of those with
moderate to severe arthritis in their hands. Over 300 pairs of the gloves have been shipped
nationally and internationally. Recently, a major pharmaceutical company adopted the gloves to
use as an education tool in doctor’s offices nationally.
He was the technical director of the Air Force’s Expeditionary Medicine Human Systems
Integration research project and served as project director on National Council on Disability
(NCD)’s universal design research project. He designed and implemented the Georgia Tech
Universal Design Survey and has led survey development efforts for several other programs. Dr.
Fain has been involved in a research effort to study human factors issues in advanced traffic
management systems in Intelligent Transportation Systems. He has performed human factors
analyses for the user-centered design of the Advanced Traffic Management Center simulator
sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration.
Dr. Fain served as the technical director for the Information Technology and Technical Assistance
Training Center (ITTATC) project. He led the needs assessment and technical assistance portions
of the ITTATC project and has developed materials to support accessibility curriculum
development efforts. He led the development of the Accessibility Evaluation Facility (AEF) to
support independent third party evaluations of electronic and information technology accessibility
and usability. In addition, he led the development of training materials to educate designers and
accessibility specialists in the measurement of accessibility.
Dr. Fain served as the lead designer of the aircrew interface for the Integrated Tactical Avionics
System modification to the SH-2G(A). He was responsible for providing conceptual and detailed
designs to the customer, writing the system interface design specifications detailing the
configuration and function of these devices for the software team, and coordinating with the
designers of other displays and controls for the cockpit. Under authority of the Naval Air Systems
Command (NAVAIR), Dr. Fain provided oversight to Boeing’s human factors program for the
cockpit of the P-8A Poseidon. Dr. Fain was also involved in a project to design, develop, and test
auditory icons used in a three-dimensional advanced auditory display.
Dr. Fain is widely known as an expert in his field and has been invited to present at multiple
conferences including two keynote addresses, has had three refereed published journal papers,
thirty-seven major technical reports, and eleven refereed conference presentations with
proceedings. He has also served as a referee for both journal articles and conference proceedings
for the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. He has filed an invention disclosure related to the

development of a folding cane and is in the process of filing an invention disclosure related to the
design of a glove that simulates the functional impact of arthritis on the hands.
Dr. Fain developed the Accessibility Evaluation Methodology (AEM) and published a report
documenting the methodology in 2001. He has performed over one hundred accessibility
evaluations for national and international customers in twenty projects. In 2004, Dr. Fain modified
the AEM to measure ease of use for special populations and, as a result, GTRI was named as the
national test lab for the Arthritis Foundation’s Ease of Use Commendation Program. He has
executed over eighty evaluation projects. Recently, GTRI has been named as the sole authorized
test lab for both the Arthritis Society of Canada and Arthritis Australia. He pioneered the
development of Consumer Product Integration (CPI) as a design process for the realization of
products with universal design features. He successfully marketed five funded proposals related
to the use of CPI techniques.
Dr. Fain led the National Council on Disability (NCD)’s universal design research program. The
focus of the research program was to determine the impact of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation
Act on the design and procurement of electronic and information technologies. Dr. Fain’s report
contained universal design policy recommendations that were endorsed by the NCD and sent to
the President of the United States for consideration. He conceived and led the development of an
information portal containing information pertaining to the design and procurement of accessible
electronic and information technologies. The Accessibility Assistant
(http://accessibility.gtri.gatech.edu) is the culmination of eight years of accessibility research at
Georgia Tech and serves over 1500 visitors monthly. Dr. Fain conducted a study of driver decision-making
in the presence of real-time traffic information in both young and older adults. His
research led to the development of guidelines for the generation of Variable Message Sign (VMS)
messages displayed to travelers.
