WHAT IS IBV?
The Biomechanics Institute of Valencia (IBV) is a technological centre that studies the behavior of the human body and its interaction with products, environments and services. The IBV combines biomechanics, ergonomics and emotional engineering.
During my two years at the IBV I was part of a multidisciplinary team in the ergonomics department. The functions I developed are:
* Development of projects based on improving ergonomics in work spaces. From an initial analysis the potential human risks were identified. In the next step an optimal redesign of the workspace was developed in order to improve the worker´s quality of life.
* Creating ergonomics criteria for product´s design.
* Giving technical advice to companies.
