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.
