Research

Funded projects, research themes, and translation paths.

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.

Official profile synthesis

PolyU lists Yan Tina Luximon's expertise across ergonomic design, anthropometry, 3D human modeling, head and face products, AI in design, HCI, and human-robot interaction.

Recruitment

We are looking for PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, research associates, research assistants, and student helpers. See openings for role fit and application materials.

Openings

Recruiting people who can connect bodies, behavior, and computation.

Applicants should send a CV and relevant portfolio, publication, or project evidence to yan.luximon@polyu.edu.hk.

01

PhD students

Best fit: anthropometry, HCI, AI in design, digital human modeling, healthcare, safety, and product-fit research.

02

Postdoctoral fellows / RAs

Best fit: publishable research execution, 3D modeling, statistics, user studies, XR/AI prototyping, or engineering collaboration.

03

Student helpers

Best fit: data collection, experiment support, scanning workflows, design prototyping, and publication preparation.

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.
