Objective:
To provide an evaluative overview of the life and contributions of Raja
Parasuraman.
Background:
From his earliest contributions in clarifying and explaining the problematic
area of vigilance to his most recent interdisciplinary advances in
understanding how genotype relates to behavior in complex technical
environments, Raja Parasuraman was a giant of human factors and ergonomics.
Our present exposition articulates and recounts his many contributions to
our science and to science in general beyond the confines of our own
discipline.
Method:
We use the history of scientific contributions, biographical analysis, and
reported personal experience to accomplish our overall assessment of the man
and his work.
Results:
We conclude that Parasuraman’s contributions were unique, substantive, and
seminal, and will continue to influence our science for many years to
come.
Application:
This work will serve as a record for those to come who look to make
significant contributions to the goals, aims, and aspirations that we set
ourselves in human factors and ergonomics in seeking to improve the human
condition.
