Over the past 15 years, Professor Feyen has worked and conducted safety-related research in many different fields (construction, aviation, automotive, manufacturing, and the healthcare setting) and on a diverse range of topics (e.g., consumer product design, human performance modeling (including biomechanical and task analyses), industrial accident reconstruction, assistive technologies for persons with disabilities, technical documentation, and safety systems). His research interests span both cognitive and physical ergonomics, particularly with respect to occupational settings. Prior to joining MIE and MEHS here at UMD, Robert was an assistant professor of Industrial Engineering at Purdue University from January 2002 - August 2006.
