Research

Design evidence from bodies, behavior, and computation.

We focus on physical and cognitive ergonomics including anthropometry, 3D digital human modeling, CAD/CAM/CAE, statistical modeling, usability testing, HCI, human robot interaction, AI in design, safety, and healthcare.

01

Anthropometry and fit

Head, face, ear, and body data for products that fit real users.

02

Digital human modeling

3D statistical models and parametric methods for design evaluation.

03

Human interaction

Usability, trust, wayfinding, mobile interfaces, robots, and AI agents.

People

A research group spanning ergonomics, design, computation, and healthcare.

Current members

24 people listed in the current lab roster.

Recruitment

We are looking for PhD students, postdoctoral fellow/research associates/research assistants, and student helpers. If you are interested, please send your CV to yan.luximon@polyu.edu.hk for consideration.

Products and tools

Research outcomes made tangible: forms, references, applications, and design tools.

The first-ever 3D digital database of Chinese head and face shapes.

SizeChina supports manufacturers and designers with practical, scientifically grounded design tools for Asian fit products across optical, medical, sports, and entertainment industries.

Research translation

From lab methods to a PolyU start-up.

Sizefit is presented separately from SizeChina because it is a technology-transfer and entrepreneurship outcome, not simply part of the database project.

2023 PolyU Start-up

Sizefit Technology Limited

PolyU KTEO describes Sizefit as a start-up using AI technology developed from AidLab to create custom headwear products from generated 3D heads, with early focus on children's eyewear and specialized frames for special needs and disfigurements.

Focus
Custom headwear, children's eyewear, and specialized frames.
