1. The standard bio layout contains: your name, academic background, work experience, research domain, research methodology, research description, publications, a black-and-white portrait, personal website and professional website... in that order. Students early in their career may only have content for some of these sections. That's cool. Add more when you have it!

2. Anything sandwiched in-between a pair of start-bracket htmlcomment end-bracket is not displayed in viewer's browsers.

3. Look at the menu options beneath this window. One of the options is "Label." You can now label your bio which enables... drum-roll... indexing!!!! Please cut & paste from the following standard labels:

Research Methodology:

research methodology in lower case, next research methodology

Research Description:

Jason's research focuses on Human Supervisory Control Systems for monitoring complex systems that involve human labor. Jason's past research has focused on the design and validation of systems for overseeing Planning and Resource Allocation within complex, highly dynamic systems (namely, aircraft carriers). His research is now extending to include safety monitoring in these systems. Primarily, can predictive models of human behavior within the system be generated (given that worker A is in location 1, what is the probability he is at location 2 in 5 minutes?), how this can be correlated to "unsafe" conditions, and how this can be display to both high-level supervisors and the individual workers.
