Christopher Nemeth conducts human performance research and development in high hazard sectors as a Principal Scientist with Applied Research Associates, a 1400 member U.S. science and engineering consulting firm. His 26-year academic career has included seven years in the Department of Anesthesia and Critical Care at the University of Chicago Medical Center, and adjunct positions with Northwestern University's McCormick College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and Illinois Institute of Technology. He has served as a committee member of the National Academy of Sciences, is author/editor of five books, and is widely published in technical journals.

Focuses on the development of resilience engineering (RE) as a concept and a field of practice that has contributed to expanding the scope of safety from a preoccupation with failure, to also include the acceptable everyday functioning of a system or an organisation

Includes case studies that translate RE concepts into practice and demonstrates RE's practical value to researchers, operators, and managers using life experience

Written in an accessible style to enable those who are new to RE to easily understand concepts and appeal to new practitioners and students
