About

Hannah Dammers is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-centered design and advanced manufacturing, with a primary focus on the **Internet of Production (IoP)**. Her work critically addresses the gap between technocentric automation and the human actors who operate within these systems. Dammers’ major contribution is the conceptualization of the **Human Digital Shadow**, a data-based model that aggregates and links user and usage data to empower rather than replace workers. Her research systematically explores **human-robot interaction (HRI)** in production, developing frameworks to classify collaboration types and designing humane interfaces for digital shadows. With her most-cited paper (30 citations) laying the groundwork for this human-centric vision, Dammers has also advanced practical applications in textile and composite part production, emphasizing usability and worker acceptance. Notably, she extends her work to **sustainability**, identifying interdisciplinary opportunities for IoP to support global Sustainable Development Goals. By championing humane, collaborative, and sustainable production ecosystems, Dammers is shaping the future of Industry 4.0 where technology serves people.
