- This $349,703 National Science Foundation project grant supports research examining how spaces become meaningful places within shared indoor environments. Funded under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the four-year award to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University will analyze space and resource use dynamics within a mixed residential/academic building. Using sensor technologies, interviews, and ethnography, researchers will study how...
- This Project Grant award of $300,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) will support a collaborative research project titled "Future Proofing for Age-Related Changing Cognitive Abilities Using Smart Objects as Assistive Technologies." The project aims to design future-proofing approaches that enable people experiencing cognitive decline, such as those living with dementia or mild...
This $540,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to introduce a new class of intelligent, dynamic built environments that continuously interact with occupants to monitor, interpret, and respond to their mental states. The goal is to create responsive, adaptive workspaces that can minimize distractions and enhance sustained focus, thereby alleviating mental strain and promoting cognitive well-being and productivity. The 3-year project, titled "Embodied Intelligence in Smart Workspaces: Bidirectional Sensorimotor Interactions for Stress Reduction," will be conducted by the University of Southern California. It will leverage wearable and environmental sensors to detect indicators of mental strain and dynamically adjust factors like lighting, acoustics, and spatial configuration to create an optimized workspace. This initiative aims to advance foundational knowledge in human-centered design and adaptive collaboration between humans and intelligent engineered systems.
