Professor Jan Dul receives USA human factors and ergonomics award

This year’s Hal W. Hendrick Distinguished International Colleague Award went to Jan Dul, Professor of Technology and Human Factors at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM). The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) hands out the annual award to honour non-US citizens for their outstanding academic contributions to the human factors and ergonomics field.

Professor Dul’s research focuses on human factors and ergonomics, and in particular, on the interaction between people and the physical and social environment. The HFES jury characterised Professor Dul as an active thought leader on the world stage whose academic contributions to his field are unique, far-ranging and impactful. They say: “Jan Dul's contributions to the field have been unique, far-ranging, and impactful. Although trained as a classical biomechanical ergonomist, he now specialises in the interaction between people and the technological and social-organisational environment.”
