This is the link to my second publication in the Indian Journal of Aerospace medicine. Not bad as a trainee if i must say so myself ..:). And this article also won the Best Paper award at the Conference in Delhi.
The first article had been about the Mathematical model that i had developed for the DISO simulator at IAM for measuring head movements if subjects. That was a completely original work and had been a solo publication.
This article on the other hand was actually an institutional work wherein an indigenous effort at making a helmet for the aircrew had been made by a design and development agency and the prototype had come for evaluation to IAM.
Now it was tested on around 40 pilots and a problem was found.
So where do I come in ..??
Well the problem was there but couldnot be pinpointed...so i took it from the stage of "there is a problem" to "this is the problem". The clue lay in the statistical difference between the parameters that had been considered. My next contribution was to design an alternative way of designing the sizing schedule so that the problem could be solved.
Three years at IAM and time to go .. for the only time in my life when I really did what i really really wanted to do and enjoyed every moment of wrestling with a problem at 3:00 AM in the night..!!
