About
Hartomo Soewardi is a leading researcher in the intersection of ergonomics, human-computer interaction, and axiomatic design. His work focuses on systematically analyzing and mitigating musculoskeletal disorders caused by modern technology use. Soewardi’s most influential contribution, "Axiomatic design principles in analysing the ergonomics design parameter of a virtual environment" (20 citations), pioneers a novel framework that applies engineering design theory to optimize virtual environments for human comfort and safety. He further advances this field with his study on "Analysis of Electromyography on Computer Interaction Devices to the Risk of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome" (6 citations), which uses electromyography to quantify hand muscle strain from common devices like mice, keyboards, and joysticks. By specifically investigating the flexor pollicis brevis muscle, Soewardi provides critical, data-driven insights into the biomechanical risks of repetitive computer use. His work is foundational for designing safer, more ergonomic interfaces and workplaces, directly impacting occupational health and product design. Soewardi’s research offers essential guidance for students and professionals seeking to create technology that works in harmony with the human body.
