Prof. Guy A. Boy, Ph.D., is an Air and Space Academy Fellow, an INCOSE Fellow (Human-Systems Integration [HSI] Working Group Chair), and a Fellow of the International Academy of Astronautics. He is a Professor and Scientific Council Chairman at ESTIA Institute of Technology. He is the FlexTech-2 Chair Advisor. He is a Visiting Scholar at ISAE-SUPAERO (the French Aerospace Institute of Technology). From 2019 to 2024, he was FlexTech Chair Holder and Professor at CentraleSupélec (Paris Saclay University) and ESTIA. He is very active in the development of HSI worldwide. He was Professor and Dean of the Florida Institute of Technology Human-Centered Design Institute (HCDi) and HCD Doctoral School, Senior Research Scientist at the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC), and IPA Chief Scientist for HCD at NASA Kennedy Space Center. He was a member of the Scientific Committee of the Single European Sky for Air Traffic Management Research (SESAR) program from 2013 to 2016. He was Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the ISU (International Space University) SSP (Space Studies Program) FIT/NASA-KSC 2012 (SSP12). He has been an adjunct professor at the École Polytechnique de Paris (Comasic Master). He was a member of the Board of Professors of the Master in Complex Systems Engineering of Paris Saclay University. He was President and CEO of the European Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Engineering (EURISCO, a research institute of Airbus and Thales). He co-founded EURISCO in 1992 and led it from its creation until its closure in 2008. Between 1980 and 1991, he worked in artificial intelligence and cognitive sciences at ONERA (French Aerospace Lab) as a researcher and group leader and at NASA Ames Research Center in California as the Advanced Interaction Media Group Lead. Engineer and researcher in cognitive sciences, he obtained his engineering degrees (including a Master's in 1977 and a Doctorate in 1980) from ISAE-SUPAERO, his Research Professor Habilitation (HDR) from Sorbonne University (Pierre and Marie Curie University) in 1992, and his Qualifications of University Professor in Computer Science and Psychology in 1994.
He actively introduced Cognitive Engineering and Human Systems Integration in France and its development worldwide, notably within the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery), the IEA (International Ergonomics Association), and INCOSE. He co-founded the French Cognitive Engineering School (École Nationale Supérieure de Cognitique or ENSC) in Bordeaux in 2004. He co-founded the HCI-Aero conference series (1986-2016) that led to INCOSE HSI Conferences and Workshops. He is the author of more than 200 refereed scientific and technical papers and several university textbooks, such as Intelligent Assistant Systems (Academic Press, USA, 1991), Cognitive Function Analysis (Praeger, USA, 1998), the Cognitive Engineering volume of the French “Traité de Sciences Cognitives” (Lavoisier, France, 2003), the Handbook of Human-Machine Interaction (CRC, USA, 2011), Orchestrating Human-Centered Design (Springer, UK, 2013), Tangible Interactive Systems (Springer, UK, 2016), Human Systems Integration (CRC, USA, 2020), Design for Flexibility (Springer, UK, 2021), and Risk Taking, Prevention and Design (CRC, USA, 2022). He was elected Senior Member of ACM in 2009 (Executive Vice-Chair of ACM-SIGCHI from 1995 to 1999) and Chair of the International Ergonomics Association (IEA) Aerospace Technical Committee (2008-2022). He has been the Ambassador of the INCOSE-IEA partnership worldwide (2021-2024).
