Dr Daniel Paes BSc, MSc, PhD

Senior Lecturer in Digital Built Environment

Doctoral Co-Supervisor
School of Built Environment

Daniel’s research is at the intersection of basic and applied science and is centered on visual perception, presence, and learning in Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) environments in architectural design, construction, and workforce training applications, identifying opportunities for revolutions in effectiveness assessment methods and virtual experiences in the field. Other research interests include Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), Augmented Reality (AR), Building Information Modeling (BIM), Research Methods in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Experimental Design, User Experience and User Interface (UX/UI), Cognitive Psychology, Design Process, and Construction Management. Moreover, Daniel has five years of industry experience as Lead Designer, having led the development of eighty-five BIM-based architectural designs and monitored sixteen construction projects.

Dr. Daniel Paes holds a B.Sc. degree (Hons) in Architecture and Urbanism and an M.Sc. degree in Construction Management (thesis-track) from the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil (9th in Latin America - THE ranking), as well as a Ph.D. degree in Building Construction with a minor concentration in Cognitive Psychology from the Georgia Institute of Technology, United States (10th globally - THE ranking, engineering & tech).

Project Title: How much do they recall? Measuring the effect of safety training on human memory

Safety training is important. It reduces accidents in dangerous workplaces, such as construction sites. And it is important to refresh training to ensure people retain the lessons. But the recommended intervals between sessions vary wildly (from 6 months for building evacuations to 24 months for construction workers), because no one knows how long people retain the information. In this study, we will compare the efficacy of practical, theoretical, and virtual reality training. Our findings will ensure that the design and implementation of safety training programmes is empirically based. We will provide a sound scientific foundation for safety regulations worldwide.
