Research summary
AI-generated

Behzad Esmaeili works on construction safety, studying how workers perceive and respond to hazards on job sites using tools like virtual reality (VR) simulations, wearable sensors, and eye-tracking or brain-response measurements. Recent work also explores worker wellbeing topics such as ADHD support and exoskeleton use, alongside VR-based training and collaboration platforms for construction tasks. The research combines human factors, cognitive science, and construction engineering methods to improve hazard identification and safety training.
