Dr.
Kondraske is Professor of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering
at the University of Texas at Arlington and founding director of
the Human Performance Institute. He also holds academic appointments
at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas
and Texas Woman's University. Since receiving his doctorate, he
has conducted human and systems performance research sponsored by
NIDRR, NSF, NASA, DOE, USAF, NIH, the Veterans Administration, the
Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, as well as a number of
other agencies and industrial firms. He is widely recognized for
his work in human performance modeling and measurement. Key contributions
include the development of a Human Performance Capacity Measurement
System (now commercially available and in use in nine countries),
General Systems Performance Theory, and the Elemental Resource Model
for human performance which have provided new insights into performance
prediction and analyses to identify limiting performance resources.
He has applied these tools to problems in medical rehabilitation,
ergonomics, sports, music, information technology based training
systems and other areas. He has authored over 200 publications on
these topics. In 1986, he was awarded the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) "Engineering in Medicine and
Biology Society Early Career Award" and received the Association
for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation Career Achievement
Award in 1989. He was also elected a Fellow of the IEEE with a citation
"for contributions to the quantitative understanding of human
performance through modeling and the development of instrumentation".
Dr. Kondraske is anaccomplished accordion player and specializes
