5About Me 
Susana Costa is the Operations and Project Management Coordinator at the Landscape Laboratory, in Guimarães (Portugal). She also collaborates with the Production and Systems Department at the University of Minho's School of Engineering as an Invited Assistant Professor and with the Ergonomics and Human Factors Laboratory at Centro ALGORITMI, within the "Industrial Engineering and Management (IEM)" research line. Susana is a member of the Steering Committee for the Bachelor's and Master's Degree Programs in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Minho. Susana holds a PhD in Industrial and Systems Engineering and a Master's in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Minho. She has been an Occupational Safety and Hygiene Specialist since 2010 and a certified internal auditor of Integrated Management Systems for Quality, Environment, and Safety since 2015. Currently, she serves on the Technical Committee of the Portuguese Society for Occupational Safety and Hygiene (SPOSHO), where she directs the Occupational Hygiene portfolio. She is currently supervising one PhD candidate and several Master's students. She has been on the International Scientific Committee of the Occupational Safety and Hygiene (SHO) Symposium since 2016, a member of the Advisory Board of the Conference on Safety Management and Human Factors (SMHF) since 2017, and a member of the Future Technologies Conference (FTC) Technical Program Committee since 2020. Susana is an author and reviewer of several articles in scientific journals, symposia, and conferences, and co-guest editor of a special issue in Safety Science. She has participated as a jury member in several PhD and Master's defences. Previously, she was the Research and Industry Liaison Coordinator at the MIT Portugal Program and was involved in the INNOVCAR and EasyRide projects, a partnership between the University of Minho and Bosch. She has collaborated with various institutions and companies in professional training and consulting in Human Factors, Ergonomics, Occupational Safety and Hygiene, and Sustainability.
