Since its establishment in 2025, UNM MIRAI Lab has been investigating how Extended Reality(XR), AI, and robotics can expand human capability from enhancing balance through VR-based rehabilitation to enabling seamless collaboration across physical and virtual spaces. We not only build intelligent systems that sense, adapt, and respond to the humans who use them, but also use data-driven approaches to generate content that brings immersive experiences to life.

Our lab actively recruits PhD students and research interns every year. We look for applicants with critical thinking, self-motivation, research curiosity, and sufficient technical skills such as AI, Graphics, HCI, XR, or Robotics.

If you are interested in joining our team, please reach out to Prof. Zhu Wang (email: zhuwang AT unm DOT edu) with your CV and a brief description of your background and research interests. Please include “[Prospective Student]” in your email subject.
