Instructor
Associate Professor of Human Systems Engineering at Arizona State University
Dr. Robert Gray is an associate professor and undergraduate program chair in Human Systems Engineering at the Polytechnic School of Arizona State University. Originally from Toronto, Canada, he completed his bachelor's degree in psychology at Queen’s University and earned both his master's and doctoral degrees in experimental psychology at York University. After obtaining his Ph.D. in 1998, he worked as a research scientist for Nissan Motor Corporation before joining ASU as an assistant professor in 2001. He has since advanced to associate professor and program head while also serving as a part-time research psychologist for the United States Air Force.Dr. Gray's research focuses on perceptual-motor control, particularly in high-demand environments such as driving, aviation, and sports. His work aims to improve training, simulation, accident prevention, and human-machine interface development. He has received several accolades for his contributions to psychology, including the Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contribution to Psychology from the American Psychological Association. Dr. Gray also hosts "The Perception & Action Podcast," where he discusses how psychological research can enhance performance and skill acquisition.
