Christina Umstatter has done her PhD at Humboldt University of Berlin on the subject of the interaction between animals and technology in automatic milking systems. She then moved on to work in Weihenstephan at the chair of agricultural engineering, technical university Munich. She has a specific interest in labour science and Precision Livestock Farming in extensive systems. For 9 years, she worked at SRUC’s Hill & Mountain Research Centre in the West Highlands of Scotland as a Grazing Biologist and focused on animal monitoring, electronic identification (EID) in livestock farming and on the development of virtual fences. In 2014, she moved to Switzerland to work for Agroscope’s Institute of Sustainability Sciences in the labour science team. Her current research area involves the three aspects of labour science, temporal, mental and physical workload. In addition, she has also a keen interest in automation in livestock farming to reduce the workload on farms.
