Irina-Emily Hansen

About

I hold a Ph.D. in Knowledge Management of Industry-Academia Collaboration and an M.Sc. in Product and System Design from NTNU, as well as an M.Sc. in System Engineering from the St. Petersburg State Academy for Aerospace Engineering. I manage the Manufacturing Lab (Manulab) in Ålesund, an Industry 4.0 cyber-physical laboratory. I collaborate with industry partners on projects focused on optimizing production processes, leveraging my expertise in design for automated production, Lean methodologies, and Industry 5.0 principles. My research centers on knowledge management within technology innovation projects with industry. Additionally, I teach courses on Lean, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
