In this posting, I would like to present a senior PhD student: PHILLIP J. AYOUB, the person who at the same research center (EII) with me. The first impression to me is that he is big and tall guy, but very easy-going, always with smiles on his face. Phill, is his nick name.
In terms of his research area, Phill examines the sociotechnical dynamics and integration of work, technology and people. He has got his papers published in a number of conferences. To name a few, they are Proceedings of the Organization Design and Management XI Annual Meeting, Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, Proceedings of the 15th Triennial Congress of the International Ergonomics Association. In addition, Phillip has made several presentations in a variety of workshops. Remarkably, Phillip holds three pieces of patents.
Phillip is very active not only in his academic area but also in some extra-curriculum activities. He has a lot of title surrounding with him: president of Pennsylvania State University Student Chapter, head coach of men's club soccer team, Rock Climbing Supervisor and members of Aircraft Owners and pilots association.
It is really amazing to me that Phillip is a well-developed person. How can a man be successful in so many aspects of his career? I guess it is attributed to his great enthusiasm to life and excellent skills of time management.
