user-centred product development, automation, digitalisation) related to the
development, implementation, and evaluation of technologies in developing
countries. The new professor will take a central role in shaping development
engineering research and in teaching development engineering courses, educating
the future leaders of sustainable development. She or he is also expected to
collaborate with other members of ETH Zurich for Development (ETH4D). In
