Professor
of Aeronautics
and Astronautics and
Engineering Systems
Dr.
Leveson holds a Ph.D. from UCLA. She
was a Computer Science professor at
the University of California, then
became Boeing Professor of Computer
Science and Engineering at the University
of Washington.
Professor
Leveson’s research focuses on
topics related to the design of complex
systems containing software, hardware,
and human components. Her goal is
to stretch current limits of complexity
and intellectual manageability of
the systems we can build with reasonable
resources and with confidence in their
expected behavior, particularly safety.
Current research topics include; model-based
system and software engineering, system
and software safety, software requirements
specification and analysis, human-computer
interaction, reusable component-based
system architectures, interactive
visualization, human-centered system
design, and comprehensive approaches
to risk management that include the
organizational, political, managerial,
and social aspects of system construction
and operation.
