Professor B.L. William Wong PhD FBCS FNZCS is Professor of Human-Computer Interaction at the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering, Faculty of Design and Creative Technology, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand.  

His research is in cognitive engineering and the representation and interaction design of user interfaces that enhance situation awareness, sense-making, reasoning, problem-solving and decision making in human-machine teams that operate in dynamic complex environments. This involves studying how and why people make decisions in naturalistic settings such as emergency ambulance control, and air traffic control, while seeking to understand how they use technology to reason and make decisions. He is also interested in the design of visual analytics-based socio-technical systems that use AI and machine learning to create effective human-AI teams that are transparent and ethically sound.
