Biography
Armaĝan Albayrak was born in Ankara, Turkey. In 1993, she finished her high school education in Izmir, Turkey. The same year she came to Holland and did her entrance examination for a study on Delft University of Technology. In 1994, she started with her study Industrial Design Engineering at the Delft University of Technology. In 2002, she received her master degree at this faculty. The same year she started with her PhD-research titled “Ergonomics in the operating room: transition from open to image-based surgery”. Her PhD-research was in cooperation with the Erasmus Medical Centre (EMC) in Rotterdam. In the first two years of her PhD-research she was situated in EMC.
In 2004, she came back to the faculty Industrial Design to finish her PhD. Since July 2007, she has been employed as an Assistant Professor at the department Industrial Design, section Applied Ergonomics and Design. Her responsibilities include both research and teaching in the field of ergonomics, medisign, usage evaluation methodology and biomechanics.
