Julie Marble, Intelligent Human-Machine Systems Division Leader at ARLIS, was recently appointed to the Board of Human Systems Integration (BOHSI) at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM).
As part of the Board, Marble will help advance a systems-level understanding of how people interact with complex technologies and organizational structures. The Board plays a role in identifying critical challenges and opportunities where human-centered design can drive improved outcomes, in sectors such as defense, healthcare, and aviation. By examining how individuals and organizations function within evolving technical environments, BOHSI supports the integration of human capabilities into complex systems and guides research that informs the development of effective, user-centered solutions.
This appointment is a natural fit for Marble, whose career has focused on human-machine teaming, cognitive engineering, and the responsible development of AI. At ARLIS, Marble leads the Intelligent Human-Machine Systems Division, where she oversees a truly interdisciplinary team. Drawing from engineering, cognitive science, computer science, and policy, the division brings a people-first approach to developing technology for high-stakes environments.
Before coming to ARLIS, Dr. Marble was Executive Director of the Institute for Experiential Robotics at Northeastern University, where she helped define business strategy and collaboration. Her earlier roles include Program Officer at the Office of Naval Research Code 341, where she led autonomous systems research, and research in human centered cybersecurity, as a Program Manager for the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission Division of Research, where she led international programs on human risk assessment, and even founding a technology firm.
Her selection to the National Academies board adds to a long list of contributions, including published research, keynote speaking, and international scientific service. But for Julie, it’s not just about recognition; it’s about impact. Marble’s voice will be critical in shaping how emerging technologies support human capability.
Julie Marble’s appointment is another chapter in a career built around asking the right questions, shaping the future of intelligent systems, and developing a deep understanding of the people who use these systems.
