Aida Haghighi is an industrial engineer with both academic and industrial experience. She holds a PhD from Polytechnique Montreal and obtained her master’s and bachelor’s degrees in Iran. All three degrees are in industrial engineering. She conducted her doctorate program in the field of occupational health and safety (OHS), with a focus on bypassing safeguards on machinery as a common OHS problem in industry. In parallel with her doctoral studies, she had an opportunity to collaborate with a team of researchers from various fields working at Polytechnique Montreal and IRSST on a new research project about the impacts of Industry 4.0 on occupational safety.
In addition to her academic background, Haghighi has nine years of experience at National Gas Company as a senior systems analysis specialist and then advanced to head of the Systems Analysis Department.
