About me
I'm a professor in the Department of Work Environment, Univ. of Massachusetts Lowell. My training is in occupational health and epidemiology. Since 1981 I have been researching musculoskeletal disorders in relation to the physical and organizational aspects of working conditions. Other topics that I've studied include the relationship of ergonomic factors with other health outcomes like mental health and workplace injury, and the effectiveness of workplace interventions such as ergonomics programs, health promotion, joint labor-management health and safety committees.

In my (scarce) spare time I am a gardener and amateur violinist.
