PROGRAM SESSION DETAILS:


YOUR HOST FOR THE CONFERENCE: 

Éric Coutu - Bombardier Aerospace
Éric carries a solid background in DHM with 25 years as DHM provider (1984-2011) + 6 years as a DHM user (2011-today).

OUR 3 KEYNOTE SPEAKERS:

Robert Stuthridge - Consultant ergonomist @Jaguar Land Rover
https://uk.linkedin.com/in/dr-robert-stuthridge-cpe-mies-30375231









No-one would ever do it like THAT!
Dr. Robert Stuthridge uses DHM in his role as ergonomist for a leading UK car manufacturer. Dividing his time equally between digital and physical assessments, he supports internal and external stakeholders in product and process development from CAD/concept stage to full production and beyond. His DHM skills have been acquired almost entirely 'on the job,' and he has observed that in the highly competitive, rapidly advancing world of automotive manufacturing there are few opportunities for trials but a high cost for errors - getting things right at an early design stage is critically important. Acutely aware of the opportunities and the frustrations DHM holds for ergonomists engaged in manufacturing, Robert will explore these in his lively and challenging presentation. 


Rush Green - Boeing
https://www.linkedin.com/in/rush-green-9892734









Five decades of Digital Human Modeling innovation at Boeing
Rush Green has worked at the Boeing Company as a human model developer and user since 1991. Mr. Green has worked with users to define functional requirements, and user interfaces. He has written user documentation, provided training, and performed many human model analyses.  Named a Boeing Associate Technical Fellow in 2013, Mr. Green is also experienced in the application of biomechanics, anthropometry and ergonomics, to the design of airplanes, and factory workplaces.
Mr. Green’s presentation will cover more than 50 years human modeling development at Boeing.


Maxime Raison - Polytechnique Montreal
https://ca.linkedin.com/in/maxime-raison-38877859











What does DHM, Biomechanics and Robotics have in common?
Maxime Raison is Professor at the Mechanical Engineering Department of Polytechnique Montreal. He holds the Rehabilitation Engineering Chair Applied to Pediatrics, co-founded by Sainte-Justine UHC and Polytechnique Montreal, at Marie-Enfant Rehabilitation Centre. His research and his developments mainly concern 3D biomechanical modeling of the musculoskeletal system, motion analysis for clinical evaluation, and rehabilitation robotics.
The presentation will focus on the emerging bridges between robotics, biomechanics and DHM, which will be present in our daily lives in a near future.
