Thomas F. Gilbert (1927–1995) was a psychologist who is often known as the founder of the field of performance technology, also known as Human Performance Technology (HPT). Gilbert himself coined and used the term Performance Engineering.

A common misunderstanding of the word technology with regards to HPT is that it relates to information technologies. In HPT, technology refers to the specialized aspects of the field of Human Performance.
High-pressure torsion (HPT) is a severe plastic deformation technique used to refine the microstructure of materials by applying both high pressure and torsional strain. [1] HPT involves compressing a material between two anvils while simultaneously rotating one of the anvils, inducing shear deformation. [ 2 ]
Evaluation is also a central aspect of HPT, and is used during planning, carrying out, and following up interventions by measuring results against identified requirements. In 2002 ISPI convened a group of workplace managers, business consultants, and academics met to define what skills and abilities a performance technology practitioner needed.
