Current Research:

    I am working as a postdoctoral researcher under the supervision of Dr. Byung-Cheol Min and Dr. Jiansong Zhang. My current research project is focused on applying Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to construction safety. Specially, there are two stages of my current project: 1) investigating the feasibility of UAV as a safety inspection tool on site via an online survey; 2) navigating UAV on site in a semi-autonomous way by including the knowledge of construction workers. The output of the project will help us better understand the current application status of UAV for construction safety in the industry, and help us build optimized flight routes of UAV for safety inspection by incorporating construction workers’ safety knowledge.
