OUR PROGRAM
System Risk Detection
Applying socioecological scenario models for a nuanced evaluation of hazards tailored to specific contextual factors.
Design Resilience Performance Forecasting
Employing forward-thinking computational and design methodologies to predict and assess integrative outcomes for both human and environmental factors.
Sustainable Healthy Environments Assessment
Measuring the immediate and lasting effects on public health and well-being through the implementation of regenerative design solutions.
Exploring the Design Resilience of People, Process, and Place
The Integrative Prevention Through Design Lab currently includes a select group of DCP Graduate Research Assistants with research interests in applying AI, Human Factors, and Systems Science methodologies to investigating safety-critical environments.
Presently the lab’s research efforts are focused on improving infection prevention through strategic environmental interventions, using socioecological scenario models for healthy infrastructure planning, and using computational design thinking for environmental predesign.
Projects & Workshops
Resilient Inference System for Performance Safety (RISPS)
Platt, L.S. First Inventor
Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) approach to applied Artificial Intelligence predicts infection-causing risks in inpatient healthcare environments and assesses the effectiveness of infection moderation strategies
Prevention Through Design Environmental Material Intelligence Center (PtD-EMIC)
Platt, L.S. First Inventor
A decision-support tool for assessing interior material performance characteristics related to reducing bacterial bioburden. The system allows users to input performance data that informs design decisions to mitigate infection risk.
Jacksonville, FL – Housing, Environment, and Wellbeing Community System Dynamics Workshop
This two-part community-driven workshop focused on advancing community resilience through watershed planning in at-risk Jacksonville, Florida neighborhoods.
These applied community system dynamics sessions were facilitated by UF DCP FIBER researchers and sponsored by the Jessie Ball DuPont Fund with support from UF Health Jacksonville, LISC Jacksonville, Groundworks Jacksonville, UF City Lab, and the Shimberg Center for Housing Studies.
