Research Faculty Currently Accepting Students

Dr. Marzieh Amini

Are you passionate about machine learning and interested in developing cutting-edge perception systems that autonomously perceive the environment using multimodal sensors such as cameras, LiDAR, radar, and infrared sensors? My research group focuses on creating innovative solutions for applications in autonomous vehicles, traffic monitoring, critical infrastructure surveillance, human activity recognition, and wildfire detection. If you have hands-on experience in software development, proficiency in Python, and a solid understanding of deep learning algorithms, we’d love to have you on our team as we push the boundaries of smart sensor technologies and intelligent systems.

Dr. Ali Arya

I work in the area of educational technology with a focus on virtual reality and virtual learning environments. I am actively involved in research on the role of VR in critical thinking, emotional engagement in VR experiences, community-level and other forms of inclusion in VR, and VR in STEM education.

Dr. KC Collins

I’ve always been fascinated by how sound and music shape interactions and can influence people’s behaviours. I’ve been actively working on areas of sound in user experience research, human-computer interaction, human-robot interaction, games and virtual reality. I’m interested in working with students who have a background in sound, and will draw on areas of psychology, neuroscience, game studies and/or HCI to explore this area. I’m also interested in sound and artificial intelligence, from a variety of angles, including historical, practical and theoretical aspects of music and audio-based AI systems.
