Christina Harbauer studied mechatronics and information technology at the Technical University of Munich and wrote her bachelor thesis on human-machine interaction in collaborative robots. In her master's degree she also focused on automation technology and control engineering. She worked both in her term project and as a supporting assistant at the Chair of Ergonomics on the use and evaluation of body-worn lifting aids in load handling, also called exoskeletons.
Since December 2017, she is working as a research assistant at the Chair of Ergonomics, focusing on production ergonomics, in particular on the ergonomic development and evaluation of physical assistance systems and exoskeletons for use in an industrial environment.
