Miss Rachael Smith MEng Computer Science
Technician
Rachael Smith is a Technician for the Human Factors Engineering group within the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton.
After graduating from the University of Southampton in 2019, Rachael went to work as a Software Developer for Cunning Running Software Ltd.
Since then, Rachael has joined the Transportation Research Group on the CoMTET (Command Team Experimental Test-Bed) project that is funded by the Defence Science Technology Laboratory. CoMTET is a full-size model of a submarine control room built with command posts and computer simulations. It was built to perform novel research into submarine command team socio-technical networks and is one of the only research facilities of its kind in the United Kingdom. Current research looks to provide evidence-based recommendations for change to optimise the design and operation of future submarine control rooms. A press release can be found here.
