Life

After completing the general university entrance qualification and a social commitment, Martin Schmauder completed his studies in general mechanical engineering at the University of Stuttgart from October 1982 to May 1989 . His main areas of study were construction theory and factory theory with ergonomics . In his diploma thesis he dealt with building part families for production island planning.

After successfully completing his studies as a graduate engineer, he worked from 1989 to 1998 as a research assistant at the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering (IAO) and at the Institute for Industrial Engineering and Technology Management at the University of Stuttgart. There he received his doctorate in 1996 under the supervision of Hans-Jörg Bullinger as Dr.-Ing. with his dissertation “Handed-friendly design of the human-machine interface”.

In 1999 he joined the private-sector consulting and training institute "ipu-Institute for Practical Management" in Munich as an equal partner. The mechanical engineering faculty of the Technical University in Dresden appointed Martin Schmauder as professor for ergonomics in 2000. There he has also been Director of the CIMTT Center for Production Technology and Organization since 2005.

Research priorities

His professorship for ergonomics deals with topics from basic and applied research, with a focus on the areas of work organization , ergonomics , occupational safety and human resource management . In the field of work organization, projects on new forms of work organization and economic and humane process design are researched. The human-friendly design of products and workplaces is the focus of activities in the field of ergonomics. The design of safe and healthy work systems and the effects of risk factors on people are dealt with in occupational safety.

In his doctoral thesis he dealt with the "handedness-friendly (left-, right-handed) design of the human-machine interface". The results obtained in it were then used to improve the system performance of the human-machine system through a technical design that was appropriate for the hand. H. to achieve a reduction in stress and to improve occupational safety and satisfaction.

The results of his research have been presented in 40 publications.
