CUSP Research Seminar: Yanxiao Feng
The Center for Urban Science + Progress (CUSP) at NYU Tandon invites you to attend the lecture "Healthy and Resilient Built Environment: Applying Human-Centered Approaches with Data Sensing and Modeling Techniques" by Yanxiao Feng, assistant professor at the School of Applied Engineering and Technology at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, as part of the Fall 2024 CUSP Research Seminar Series. This event is open to the public with advance registration.
Lecture Title
Healthy and Resilient Built Environment: Applying Human-Centered Approaches with Data Sensing and Modeling Techniques
About the Talk
The ability of buildings and their surrounding environments to provide a satisfactory experience significantly impacts the comfort, health, well-being, and productivity of occupants and workers. While many research efforts have focused on improving the health and resilience in the built environment, the interactions between humans and these environments have not been comprehensively explored. Emerging technologies, such as smart sensing and computing, offer strong technical support for investigating human-centered approaches. This presentation presents research directions that focus on leveraging human-centered system design and development to enhance the built environment.
About the Speaker
Dr. Yanxiao Feng is an assistant professor in the School of Applied Engineering and Technology at NJIT. She also holds a joint appointment in the Hillier College of Architecture & Design at NJIT. She leads the Lab for Intelligent and Resilient Built Environment which is dedicated to exploring intelligence, resilience, and sustainability in the built environment through human-centered approaches. She has participated in several projects supported by organizations such as U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and National Science Foundation (NSF). Holding the LEED AP BD+C certificate since 2016, she has been engaged in studying and researching approaches for sustainable buildings.
