About
Javier Mora Serrano is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of virtual reality, construction safety, and immersive training technologies. His scholarship focuses on harnessing emerging digital tools to address one of the built environment's most persistent challenges: workplace safety in the architecture, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO) industry, a sector historically plagued by high accident rates and complex, ever-changing work environments. Mora Serrano's most recognized contribution explores the application of virtual reality to create realistic training scenarios for construction workers, with a particular emphasis on social distancing protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic. His 2021 paper on this topic has accumulated 11 citations, reflecting growing scholarly interest in digital simulation as a means of safety education. A follow-up study published in 2023 further refined this approach, examining how VR storytelling can dynamically communicate hazard awareness to workers navigating unpredictable site conditions. By combining narrative-driven VR experiences with practical safety training, Mora Serrano has helped advance a human-centered approach to risk mitigation in construction. His research speaks directly to students, practitioners, and policymakers seeking innovative, scalable solutions to protect workers in one of the world's most accident-prone industries.
