Deadline: As Soon As Possible
A fully-funded graduate student (MS. or PhD) position in the department of construction science at Texas A&M University is available to join the Human-centered Intelligent Built Environments (HIBE) lab and work in the area of “indoor environmental control and energy efficient operation of smart buildings”.
About the Graduate Position
The Human-centered Intelligent Built Environments (HIBE) lab at TAMU focuses on utilizing of different technologies like Internet of Things (IoT), sensor signal processing, Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to make the operations of our built environment more adaptive and more human-centered. The objectives are to improve human comfort, productivity and well-being by using intelligent indoor environmental controls while trying to maintain energy efficient building operations. Some example topics of interest are:
- Human-Building Interaction
- Thermal comfort modeling and control of HVAC and personal comfort systems
- Physiological monitoring to understand the impact of indoor environment
- Grid-Interactive Efficient buildings
- Building energy simulations with occupant behavior
- Wearable sensing for construction safety
Duties and Responsibilities
The admitted student will work with Dr. Ashrant Aryal in the area of “indoor environmental control and energy efficient operation of smart buildings”. The research topic will involve sing IoT-enabled sensors and actuators, signal processing, machine learning, building energy analysis, and other emerging technologies.
