Dr. Julie Marble
Dr. Julie Marble leads the Intelligent Human Machine Systems core competency. She has more than 25 years of experience in Human-Machine Teaming, Human-Robot Interaction, and Human Reliability Analysis and holds a PhD in Human Factors and Cognitive Psychology from Purdue University.
After graduate school, she joined the Idaho National Lab, conducting groundbreaking work in Human-Robot Interaction. She helped establish and later became owner and CEO of Sentient Corporation, a company that used high-end data science and signal processing techniques to model and predict failures in bearings and gears for helicopters, windmills, and other rotating and reciprocating components.
After selling Sentient, she returned to her focus on work involving humans interacting with machines at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission as a research program manager. She then served as program officer in Code 341 of the Office of Naval Research, where she established programs in human cyber security and human-machine interaction. She spent six years at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab, leading research in human-machine teaming and human-cyber systems.
For the last few years, she served as the inaugural executive director for the Institute for Experiential Robotics at Northeastern University. She is now returning to ARLIS after previously serving as a visiting scientist.
