Enid Montague is an Assistant Professor and Fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She received her PhD in ISE at Virginia Tech in 2008 specializing in human factors and ergonomics engineering under the advisement of Professors Brian Kleiner and Woodrow Winchester III. During her tenure at Virginia Tech, Dr. Montague received fellowships from the Southern Regional Education Board and the Francis Research Fellowship for research that emphasizes “longer, safer and healthier lives” for her dissertation “Understanding Trust in Medical Technology.” Prior to attending Virginia Tech, she was a research assistant at Eastern Virginia Medical School's Glennan Center for Geriatrics, the Virginia Modeling and Simulation Center and Old Dominion University department of Psychology.
Dr. Montague's research uses industrial and human factors engineering methodologies, design principles and theories to understand health care systems and to promote patient and worker safety. At present, Dr. Montague explores the role of trust between people and technologies in health care work systems; she looks at organizational and design factors that effect both workers and patients.
