Dr. Mihai Burzo, Associate Professor of Engineering at UM-Flint, is interested in heat transfer and human physiological response. For over eight years at UM-Flint and now at its new College of Innovation and Technology, he has been conducting research on thermoreflectance (thermal behavior of microelectronic devices) and human response to external stimuli. Analyzing data drawn from human physiological changes (heart rate, skin temperature, skin response such as sweating, etc.) gathered from multiple sensors and camera arrays, Dr. Burzo has been able to analyze and predict stress levels, driver awareness, deception and thermal discomfort. As a result of his research, Dr. Burzo has recently been awarded a patent for climate control technology that could revolutionize the way the world heats and cools its private and common areas for the comfort of its people and conservation of energy.
