Phillip S. Dunston's research focuses on construction engineering technology, including the use of simulators and virtual/augmented reality to train equipment operators, and systems for monitoring and automating construction operations in real time. His work often combines human-factors testing (e.g., how people learn to operate machinery like excavators) with digital tools such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Internet of Things (IoT) sensing for tracking construction workflows.
