About

Dr. Soheila Sheikh Bahaei is a researcher at the forefront of socio-technical systems, specializing in the intersection of advanced manufacturing technologies, organizational change, and risk assessment. Her work critically examines how the integration of Augmented Reality (AR) and digitalization into robotic manufacturing environments introduces novel operational and human-factor risks. Dr. Sheikh Bahaei’s major contribution lies in developing frameworks to assess these emerging risks, bridging the gap between technological innovation and workplace safety. Her most-cited paper, "Assessing Risk of AR and Organizational Changes Factors in Socio-Technical Robotic Manufacturing" (2023), has garnered 3 citations, with a closely related 2024 follow-up receiving 2 citations, reflecting growing interest in her pioneering approach. By highlighting how digital transformation can inadvertently lead to both normal and abnormal system failures, she provides essential guidance for industries navigating Industry 4.0. Her work is particularly notable for its interdisciplinary focus, combining engineering, organizational psychology, and safety science. Dr. Sheikh Bahaei’s research is vital for students and practitioners seeking to implement cutting-edge technologies without compromising human well-being or system reliability.
