FPE Sponsors Student Members

The Foundation for Professional Ergonomics has initiated a program to sponsor HFES memberships for HF/E students and professionals residing outside the United States. We are very pleased to introduce a new HFES member from the first group of recipients.  Please contact us at info@ergofoundation.org to nominate a recipient or to donate to support this program.

My name is Adolfo Campos Durán, I am a kinesiologist and I live in Chile. Throughout my professional practice, I have worked in the public sphere in government programs as well as in the clinical area, attending patients and focused on their physical rehabilitation.

In 2023 I graduated from the Master's program in Ergonomics and Human Factors at the University of Valparaíso, where I was able to participate in research projects related to the aging of the workforce in professional drivers in the passenger and cargo transport industry.

Currently, I work as an Ergonomics Specialist in a Social Security Administrative Agency against Risks of Work Accidents and Occupational Diseases, where I provide advice on musculoskeletal surveillance protocols to affiliated companies from various industries.

The main motivation and use of this scholarship is of an academic nature, since having access to updated bibliography of its prestigious journals, favors the use of this available evidence in my professional work, and will also help me to promote the special interest I have in research, an area still little explored personally.
