Research Projects
Start Date: January 1, 2021 Duration: 3 years Status: In Progress
Aims to develop an integrated, data-driven framework for safety planning and management to improve the decision-making associated with safety management systems. The framework will apply to the organizational level and the planning and execution phases to proactively avoid the occurrence of safety incidents.
Start Date: December 31, 2021 Duration: 4 years Status: In Progress
Aims to develop physics-based and artificial-intelligence-based models to estimate the overall thermal resistance of different masonry wall systems. Deliverables include innovative tools and provide intuitive guidelines that are universal, easy to use, and cost-free for the building industry.
Start Date: February 28, 2022 Duration: 5 years Status: In Progress
This project aims to create innovative building blocks that are combined with multiple building functions (structural and thermal) and are suitable for modular and autonomous construction. These innovative blocks can form walls in any shape (curved, inclined, and tall) with desired openings to accommodate other building components (wood and steel structures, ventilation and electrical systems), and can be assembled quickly by autonomous machines on or off sites.
Start Date: March 3, 2022 Duration: 3 years Status: Complete
This project aims to develop a technology to minimize the spread of biological hazards and eliminate the risk of infection to pathogenic micro-organisms in ventilated buildings. The goal of this project is to develop an effective and inexpensive air purification technology for broad applications in different settings.
Start Date: March 16, 2022 Duration: 3 years Status: Complete
This research is evaluating the impact of exoskeletons on performance and safety associated with construction; specifically, assessing the suitability of exoskeletons for physically demanding construction tasks to understand the impact of wearing an exoskeleton from a kinematic, biomechanical, and usability perspective. The findings will also guide future research on design and development of customized exoskeletons specifically designed for construction tasks.
