DiCE currently pursues research in four primary areas:

Data analytics (wearable sensors, MEMS sensors, EMG Biomechanics, ...) and machine learning for safety, health, and productivity improvement in construction.
Automation and robotics (i.e. UAV/drones, robots) for sustainability, resiliency, and energy efficiency of the built environment and civil infrastructure.
Simulation and visualization of engineering processes through process mining and Building Information Modeling (BIM).
Technology-based education for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) major students and training for construction workforce.

Please see below for more information as well as the Publication page for the recent articles presenting our research findings.
