About Me
My research combines principles from human factors and ergonomics (HF/E) and data analytics to develop new methods that can be used to improve human performance and well-being in occupational settings and constructed environments for diverse populations.
Functional capabilities in humans are very diverse and are affected differently by environmental circumstances and the demands of tasks. Lack of design consideration for the diversity in human functional capabilities leads to an increase in the prevalence of work-related injuries, and even limits certain vulnerable populations, such as persons with mobility impairments, from accessing environments and services (e.g., public transportation). My research focuses on assessing human movement and performance by combining functional biomechanics, wearable sensing technologies, and data analytics in a range of environmental contexts.
ANNOUNCEMENT: I am currently recruiting highly motived Ph.D. students (including financial support) with research interests in human factors and ergonomics, wearable sensors, and smart & connected healthcare system.
I am also looking for exceptional undergraduate students and master students to work with. Students typically start with a research credit (SIE 492) and continue on as paid-research assistants depending on their interest and satisfactory work performance.
If you are interested, please complete this SURVEY and send me an email (lims@email.arizona.edu).
