Ergonomics for Daily Living and Work

Ergonomics for Daily Living and Work

Integration of Science and Design

About the lab

The laboratory engages in a wide range of research topics from fundamental to applications in related to ergonomics and health. We are also involve in collaboration research with other laboratories and industry.

Our projects involve occupational science, physical ergonomics and physiological anthropology such as anthropometry, assistive technology, work design. We are also working in prevention of workplace related musculoskeletal disorder such carpal tunnel syndrome through the application of workstation design and hand tools design.

We are actively looking for corporation and collaboration work with researchers and R&D from various expertise background such as, but not limit to, occupational health and safety, occupational therapy, product design, rehabilitation aids, etc.
