Damien Mouratille is a researcher in Human Factors and Neuroergonomics at the French Civil Aviation University (Toulouse, France). His research focuses on the selection and training, mainly of air traffic controllers. The first part of his work is to find the most valid predictor variables such as cognitive abilities, subjective assessments, or physiological measures to predict training success, operational performance, or cognitive fitness. The second part concerns the optimization of training based on competencies: how to adapt the training to the student and how to adapt the student to the training.

Before his PhD, he was a consulting engineer for Airbus at Human Design Group. Inside the EYDN department, he worked on a highly innovative project dedicated to multimodal sensors fusion for pilot monitoring.
