Attentive Hub, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Alberta, Canada

Does technology benefit all equally? Well, not really. Technology spreads unevenly; there are those who cannot easily approach technology for diverse reasons (e.g., construction workers, first responders in harsh work environments where technology cannot be readily deployed, older adults and other marginalized people with lack of digital competence) and from there, a new dimension of exclusion (technological exclusion) has been happening in our society.

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 enables those daily surroundings to equitably empathetic with 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 July/September 2025 or earlier.

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
*        Knowledge/experience in artificial intelligence, extended reality, psychology, physiology, or neurocognitive science is not mandatory but would be a great asset in these roles.

The examples of the research projects students will be involved in are:
-        Psychophysiological monitoring for occupational safety and productivity
-        Trustable robots to maximize human robot collaboration performance
-        Psychophysiological monitoring for equitable, inclusive empathetic built environments
-        Extended reality and biosensing in understanding/improving human experience in construction and built environments
-        Digital twins and reinforcement learning for continuously updating what-if simulations

How to apply: Please email to the hub leader, Dr. Gaang Lee (gaang@ualberta.ca). Please put a CV with a brief explanation of why you are a right fit for Attentive Hub.
* Please ensure that the email subject is “Attentive hub applicant.”
