iHuman Lab Ph.D. Student Receives ASME IDETC Travel Award

Graduate students in the iHuman Lab continue to earn national recognition for their research excellence. Elahe Oveisi, a Ph.D. student in the lab, received a Graduate Poster Travel Award at the American Society of Mechanical Engineers International Design Engineering Technical Conferences (IDETC).

At the conference, she presented her paper titled “Human Factor Analysis of Helicopter Accidents using Large Language Models.” Her research explores the integration of advanced AI techniques with human factors analysis to better understand and mitigate risks in safety-critical aerospace systems. By leveraging large language models to analyze accident data, her work contributes to improving safety assessment methodologies and advancing intelligent decision-support tools for complex engineering environments.

This achievement reflects the iHuman Lab’s continued commitment to innovation at the intersection of artificial intelligence, human-centered design, and safety-critical systems research.
