Zach completed his M.S. in Experimental Psychology from the University of Idaho where his research focused on attention and visual information processing. He carries that theme through his work at INL designing digital environments that cater to the strengths of human cognition. Recent work includes modernizing the Advanced Test Reactor-Critical control station. Much of his time at INL has involved collaborations with Palo Verde Generating Station and some work with NuScale bolstering the understanding of control room operations in plants of all types to build optimal digital interfaces. He currently works to improve his skill in streamlining the modernization process. He is interested and seeking opportunities to continue research to curate optimal human-automation collaboration strategies in advanced plants and other data rich environments. Continuing interests include human-automation interaction, interface design, usability, eye-tracking, and connected vehicle research implications.
