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: Adolfo Campos Durán.
"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 to patients and focusing 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 for academics. Having access to an updated bibliography of prestigious journals will enhance my ability to apply the latest available evidence in my professional work. Additionally, it will help me to promote the special interest I have in research, an area still little explored personally."
