Our research objective is to Humanize the Built Environment to provide sustainable, comfortable, intelligent, resilient, and equitable environment for EVERYONE. We adopt advanced research methods in Machine Learning, Human & Environmental Sensing, Internet of Things, System & Data Integration, and Big Data Analytics. To accomplish our fundamental research objective, we establish four primary HBE research thrusts: 1) Disability-centric Built Environment (DBE), 2) Human Building Interaction (HBI), 3) Citizen Building Scientist (CBS), and 4) Public Opinion in the Built Environment (POBE). All relevant publications found on Google Scholar.
