Chang S. (CS) Nam

Professor

Chang S. Nam is a Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering at North Carolina State University. He is also an affiliated faculty in the UNC/NCSU Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering as well as the Department of Psychology. Nam teaches and conducts basic and applied research in human factors and ergonomics engineering to advance the science of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) with a broad perspective on the application of systems and information engineering to human-centered technologies, including brain-computer interfaces, social cognitive and affective neuroscience, computational neuroscience, and neural correlates of trust in human-robot interaction. His research has been supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), and the Laboratory for Analytic Sciences (LAS), UNC/NCSU Rehabilitation Engineering Center (REC). He has received the NSF CAREER Award (2010), Outstanding Researcher Award (2010-2011), and Best Teacher Award (2010-2011). He is a recipient of the 2018 US Air Force Summer Faculty Fellowship Program (AFSFFP) Award and the 2019 Leland S. Kollmorgen Spirit of Innovation Award from the HFES Augmented Cognition TG. Dr. He is the main editor (with Drs. Nijholt and Lotte) of Brain-Computer Interfaces Handbook: Technological and Theoretical Advances (CRC Press) and “Neuroergonomics: Principles and Practices (Springer). Currently, Nam serves as the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Brain-Computer Interfaces. For more details, refer to Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) Lab.
