Research

Specific research topic areas that I am interested in are:

• Personal Protective Equipment (design effectiveness, evaluation & compliance issues), particularly helmets and back belts.
• Biomedical Engineering (biomechanics, physiological response to varying workplace designs, and the application of current relevant biomedical techniques to the ergonomics field).
• Training effectiveness & response regarding ergonomics & safety.
• Impact of the aging workforce on existing standards and work measurement practices, and workplace design.
• NORA objectives pertaining to occupational ergonomics and safety.
• Manpower and productivity issues associated with municipalities.
• Donning, Doffing and modeling of PPE and sanitation equipment.
