Who we are

The Western New York Chapter is one of the regional chapters of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society.   The Chapter provides a focal point in the western New York area for people who are interested in or have a need for human factors and ergonomics research and technology.  Our group serves as a forum for the exchange of multidisciplinary ideas and knowledge about people and their environments in the areas of both cognitive ergonomics and physical ergonomics.
