Hi, this is the MIRAI(Multisensory Immersive Realities and Artificial Intelligence) Lab at the University of New Mexico.
-Expanding perception, empowering interaction.
Zhu Wang (王铸）is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of New Mexico, where he is currently starting and will be directing the UNM MIRAI Lab. His research interests span several areas including XR, HCI, robotics, and AI. More specifically, he has been working on: 1. VR-based Human balance assessment and rehabilitation with motion analysis, eye-tracking, and force-sensing technologies; 2. XR-based multi-participant collaboration and communication; 3. Interactions with mobile robots and drones; 4. Data-driven content generation and retrieval.
We are looking for prospective PhD students with critical thinking, self-motivation, research curiosity, and sufficient technical skills. Priority will be given to applicants with experience or strong interest in AI, Graphics, HCI, XR, or Robotics. In addition to prospective PhD students, our team also welcomes motivated undergraduate and master’s students who are interested in our research and look for opportunities to participate in research projects and publications. If you are interested in joining our team, please feel free to reach out to Prof. Zhu Wang (zhuwang at unm dot edu) with your CV and a brief description of your background and research interests.
