PhD

Ergonomics in design, anthropometry and its application in design, 3D digital human modeling and CAD, design tool and visualization, head and face related products, human computer interaction, cultural difference, statistical and mathematical models.

Dr. Yan Luximon (Tina) obtained her PhD in Ergonomics from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Afterwards, she has worked on several research projects in universities and has acted as a consultant for companies. She joined the ergonomics design group in the School of Design at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University as a postdoctoral fellow and she is currently a Research Assistant Professor in the School. She has been active in design research and teaching. She has published several book chapters, patents, international conference papers and peer-reviewed journal papers.
