Alberta, Canada
Description:
Attentive Hub ponders how
technology can be more inclusive. Our focus is on our daily surroundings, such
as workplaces, buildings, parks, roads, and sidewalks, where the colors of our
lives are determined; we are deploying technologies that enable those daily
surroundings to be equitably attentive to all the diverse individuals’ needs and
feelings so that the surroundings can be safe, healthy, comfortable, and truly
inclusive. To achieve this goal, we attend to up-to-current trends in
technologies, such as human sensing, AI, robots, extended reality, and digital
twins, and integrate them with psychophysiological and socio-cognitive
theories. Now I am looking for students who want to join this endeavor from
September 2024.
The required
qualifications are:
·
Empathy to humans
·
Genuine desire to know and expand
knowledge
·
Solid motivation why she/he conducts
research
·
Mindset and behavior valuing diversity,
equality, and inclusion (DEI)
·
Research, work, and leadership experiences
proving the above qualities
The examples of the
research projects students will be involved in are:
· Psychophysiological
monitoring for construction workers’ safety and productivity
· Trustable
robots to maximize human-robot collaboration performance
· Psychophysiological
monitoring for equitable and inclusive built environments (cities not just
smart, but empathic)
· Synergy
between extended reality and biosensing in understanding/improving human
experience in construction and built environments
· Psychophysiological
mechanism-enhanced explainable deep learning for biosignal processing
· Synergy
between digital twins and reinforcement learning for continuously updating
what-if simulations
