About

Elena Crespo is a leading researcher at the intersection of advanced manufacturing and immersive technologies, with a primary focus on Industry 4.0, virtual reality (VR), and process mining. Her most influential work, "A training system for Industry 4.0 operators in complex assemblies based on virtual reality and process mining" (2019), has garnered over 200 citations, establishing her as a key figure in the development of intelligent training systems for modern factories. Crespo’s major contribution lies in integrating process mining with VR to create adaptive, data-driven learning environments that enhance operator efficiency and reduce error rates in complex assembly tasks. This pioneering approach not only improves workforce upskilling but also bridges the gap between digital twin simulations and real-world manufacturing processes. Her research has been instrumental in shaping how industries leverage real-time data to optimize human-machine collaboration. Beyond her citation impact, Crespo is recognized for her work on human-centered automation, often presenting at top conferences on cyber-physical systems. Her studies continue to influence both academic research and industrial practice, making her a vital voice in the evolution of smart manufacturing and operator training.
