01 / Measure
Environmental sensing and field deployment
Near-eye light, indoor air quality, connected devices, calibration, deployment preparation, data continuity, and participant protocols.
Academic research profile
Building intelligence that stays accountable to people.
This research connects environmental sensing, human-subject fieldwork, evidence synthesis, and occupant-facing systems. The recurring question is how measurements can become information and action without hiding uncertainty, context, or human agency.
