About

Salar Ghotb is an emerging researcher making significant contributions at the intersection of human-centred design, advanced manufacturing, and the evolving paradigms of Industry 5.0 and Society 5.0. His work challenges conventional boundaries in industrial design by advocating for frameworks that extend well beyond traditional usability concerns to encompass social, environmental, and ethical dimensions of production and consumption. Ghotb's most cited work, "Outlook on human-centred design in industry 5.0" (2025, 17 citations), critically differentiates human-centred from user-centred design approaches, pushing the field toward mass customisation, personalisation, co-creation, and co-production. Complementing this, his multi-level framework paper (2025, 16 citations) addresses a notable gap in the literature by broadening the definition of "human" in manufacturing contexts beyond operators alone, integrating designers, consumers, and public non-consumers into a cohesive Industry 5.0 vision. What makes Ghotb's scholarship particularly noteworthy is his systemic thinking — connecting micro-level design decisions to macro-level societal implications. Despite being early in his career, accumulating over 33 citations across just two publications in 2025 signals considerable momentum and positions him as a promising voice in shaping the future of human-centric manufacturing research.
