From Dr. Liu:

Excited to share our lab's contributions at the ASPIRE HFES 2025 Annual Meeting. This year, our MINDxAI Lab is presenting one lecture and two posters across the Surface Transportation and Healthcare tracks - all led by my outstanding students.

The aggressive driving systematic review is led by my Ph.D. student Yan Chen, who is doing an incredible job connecting human factors and AI-driven modeling to real-world transportation systems.

The healthcare communication barriers poster is led by Ph.D. student Moajjem Hossain Chowdhury.

The undergraduate coffee-shop operations project is especially meaningful because it marks the first time UofL ISE undergraduate students have had a poster accepted at HFES.
