He is also head of the Design Ergonomics Research Group. His research interests cover a broad range of topics within Product, Industrial and Engineering Design including: Digital Human Modelling and tools and techniques for facilitating and empowering designers in human-centred design practice; Ergonomics and Human Factors in design, Modular product design, and drawing and visualisation.Russell is involved in research and consultancy in a number of design ergonomics areas. Recent examples include: Research funded by the Department for Transport and Transport for London, modelling and quantifying blind spots in heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). This research led to the development of a direct vision standard (DVS) to address driver vision in HGVs in the UK and EU. A UK research council (EPSRC) funded AUNT-SUE project focussed on accessible and inclusive transport. As developer of the accessible design tool HADRIAN, Russell has been working with the Loughborough team exploring the benefits of employing ergonomics in the CAD environment, through the use of digital human modelling, to user centred design and in particular, inclusive or universal design issues. Russell’s experience also includes a range of design ergonomics research and consultancy including: vehicle packaging design and evaluation, the collection and exploitation of anthropometry, the use of body scanning technologies, field of view and comfort assessments, etc. Russell is also principal developer of SAMMIE the human modelling system. He is also editor of TRACEY the online journal of drawing and visualisation research.University profile: https://www.lboro.ac.uk/schools/design-creative-arts/people/russell-marshall/Publications list: http://publications.lboro.ac.uk/publications/all/collated/enrm6.htmlSAMMIE: http://www.sammiecad.comSpecialties: ergonomics, design, digital human modelling
