معرفی
Estela Perez Luque is a researcher at the University of Skövde within the School of Engineering Science and Interaction Lab (ILAB). She specializes in Digital Human Modeling (DHM), ergonomics, and simulation-based design for automotive and industrial applications, with a focus on integrating human variability into engineering workflows.
- Affiliated with the INFINIT research environment and projects like ADOPTIVE (Automated Design & Optimization of Vehicle Ergonomics) and VIVA (Virtual Vehicle Assembler).
- Collaborates with Chalmers University of Technology and SAFER Vehicle and Traffic Safety Centre.
Her research explores:
- Ergonomic simulation tools for automotive design
- Exoskeleton evaluation using DHM frameworks
- 3D body shape prediction models for standardized DHM manikins
- Eye-tracking in VR for understanding motor redundancy
- Biomechanical reference points in vehicle packaging design
Publications demonstrate expertise in multi-objective optimization for balancing ergonomics and productivity, statistical modeling of human variability, and VR validation for experimental setups. Funded by the Knowledge Foundation, Vinnova, and Swedish industry partners.
Her work emphasizes open-source contributions, including MATLAB scripts for body shape prediction and validation protocols for VR eye-tracking. She collaborates with international teams at conferences like DHM 2025 and IEA 2021.
