About

Hasmik Badikyan is a leading researcher at the intersection of Industry 4.0 and human capital development. Her work critically examines the workforce skills required for the "Factories of the Future," a cornerstone of the fourth industrial revolution. Her most-cited paper, "Analysis of the Workforce Skills for the Factories of the Future" (2020, 29 citations), provides a foundational framework for understanding how digitisation in manufacturing demands new competencies from both current professionals and future graduates. Badikyan’s research highlights that the successful adoption of smart manufacturing technologies depends not only on technical innovation but on bridging the skills gap through targeted education and training. Her contributions are vital for policymakers, educators, and industry leaders seeking to align workforce capabilities with the rapid pace of technological change. By mapping the specific skills needed—from data analytics to cyber-physical systems management—Badikyan has helped shape the discourse on human-centric Industry 4.0. Her work is essential reading for anyone studying the socio-technical challenges of digital transformation in manufacturing.
