About
Dr. Priya Sharma is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of construction engineering education and emerging technologies. Her work centers on transforming safety training through immersive learning, with a particular focus on human-robot collaboration in construction environments. Her most influential paper, "Revitalizing Students’ Perception and Knowledge of Construction Safety: Leveraging Virtual Reality as an Experiential Learning Tool for Construction Robotic Safety Education" (2024), addresses a critical gap in traditional pedagogy: the inability of lectures to convey the dynamic complexities of real-world human-robot workspaces. By designing and validating VR-based experiential modules, Sharma demonstrates how simulated environments can effectively instill pragmatic safety skills and hazard perception that on-site training alone cannot provide. Though early in her career, her work has already garnered 5 citations, signaling growing recognition among construction educators and safety researchers. Her contributions are particularly timely as the industry increasingly adopts robotics, requiring a workforce trained not just in theory but in adaptive, hands-on competencies. Sharma’s research promises to reshape how future construction professionals learn to work safely alongside autonomous systems.
