Research: Paul Green is a research professor at the University of Michigan, where he conducts human factors research on driver interfaces, driver distraction, driver workload, and other topics. His primary appointment is at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI), where he leads the Human Factors Group.  He also holds appointments in Industrial and Operations Engineering (IOE, as a research professor/ adjunct professor) and the School of Information (as a lecturer). He has written several SAE Recommended Practices, in particular SAE J2944, "Operational Definitions of Driving Performance Measures and Statistics," which is now being expanded into a Handbook (415 pages) for the Army to include in wheeled and tracked vehicles, on- and off-road driving, and single vehicles and vehicle platoons.  He has more than 300 publications to his credit.

Education and Teaching: He has degrees in 3 disciplines (joint PhD - Industrial and Operations Engineering and Psychology, MSE – Industrial and Operations Engineering, M.A. – Psychology, B.S. – Mechanical Engineering).  He is a fellow in both the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society and the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors, and is a board-certified Human Factors Professional.  He also teaches three courses per year, typically (1) Automotive Human Factors (IOE 437), (2) now SI 511-044 (Human Factors: The Science of UX), and (3) the flagship continuing education course in the profession, the Human Factors Engineering Short Course (https://ope.engin.umich.edu/pe/human-factors-engineering/), now in its 66th year.  He taught the IOE human-computer interaction class for more than 30 years.

Service: Dr. Green has been active in the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (numerous committees and positions) since he was a graduate student.  He is the longest-standing member of its Executive Committee (18 years), which includes time as its President and Secretary-Treasurer.  He has also been active in the Society of Automotive Engineers' Safety and Human Factors Steering Committee, among other professional organizations.
