After earning his B.S. in Engineering Physics, he worked for ten years, variously as a custom bicycle frame builder, horticulturalist, mechanic, chef, and production engineer. However, a lifelong passion for gaming and \u2018secondary worlds\u2019 attracted him to VR while he was earning his Master\u2019s in Industrial Engineering. Currently, his research interests are the physical and cognitive ergonomics of working in virtual environments. Can the affordances of VR support productivity and well-being in daily work? What are the adverse consequences of long-term VR use in the workplace? Do people think, feel, and behave any differently in virtual environments? What are the subjective experiences of people who use VR for daily work? <br>His current projects include an analysis of robot-related injuries in the workplace, an exploration of the psychological validity of immersive digital twins for human-robot interaction, and a methodological investigation of user-generated gestures for VR interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/webpublishing.oit.ncsu.edu\/vr-ise-ncsu-edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/374\/2025\/12\/virtual-reality-augmented-reality-faculty-emily-fang-12-2025-01.jpg\" alt=\"a headshot of grad student emily fang\" class=\"wp-image-111\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:500px;height:500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emily Fang<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ph.D. Student<\/strong><br>efang2@ncsu.edu<br><strong>Education<\/strong><br>B.S., North Carolina State University, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Emily Fang&#8217;s<\/strong> primary research interest is human\u2013computer interaction for cognitive enhancement and leveraging virtual reality to strengthen decision-making in occupational safety and health training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2380\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/webpublishing.oit.ncsu.edu\/vr-ise-ncsu-edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/374\/2025\/12\/virtual-reality-augmented-reality-faculty-fangyuan-cheng-12-2025-01.jpg\" alt=\"a headshot of grad student fangyuan (sophie) cheng\" class=\"wp-image-89\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:500px;height:500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fangyuan (Sophie) Cheng<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ph.D. Student<\/strong><br>fcheng5@ncsu.edu<br><strong>Education<\/strong><br>M.E., Tongji University, 2023<br>B.E., Hunan University, 2020<br><strong>Fangyuan Cheng\u2019s<\/strong> primary research interest is human information processing in immersive environments, with a focus on enhancing performance and experience through interaction and interface design.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"645\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/webpublishing.oit.ncsu.edu\/vr-ise-ncsu-edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/374\/2025\/12\/virtual-reality-augmented-reality-faculty-matin-malaek-12-2025-01.jpg\" alt=\"a headshot of grad student matin malaek\" class=\"wp-image-108\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:500px;height:500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Matin Malaek<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ph.D. Student<br><\/strong>smalaek@ncsu.edu<br><strong>Education<\/strong><br>M.S., Sharif University of Technology, 2022<br>B.S., Sharif University of Technology, 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Matin Malaek\u2019s<\/strong> research interests include human performance modeling and user experience, with an emphasis on understanding how people interact with complex systems to enhance design, safety, and usability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/webpublishing.oit.ncsu.edu\/vr-ise-ncsu-edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/374\/2025\/12\/virtual-reality-augmented-reality-faculty-madison-roy-12-2025-01.jpg\" alt=\"a headshot of grad student madison roy\" class=\"wp-image-99\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:500px;height:500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Madison Roy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ph.D. Student<br><\/strong>mmroy@ncsu.edu<br><strong>Education<br><\/strong>B.A., Rice University, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Madison\u2019s<\/strong> primary research interests involve the use and applications of virtual reality tools to investigate human factors problems, especially in the realms of worker safety and patient care.
