About this position

  • Gain research skills, strong portfolio, and a realistic view of academic and applied research
  • Complete a research project
  • Build methods or tools and validate them empirically
  • A written thesis with a clear contribution
  • Often a submission to a conference/journal

What We Do

AAIRL focuses on concrete problems in urban design and planning where AI can augment human capabilities. Our core research directions include:
  • Human-AI interaction in design
  • Generative architectural and urban design
  • Built-environment analysis
  • Built-environment simulations
Much of our work is conducted with industry and government partners, so research is tested against real constraints: incomplete data, conflicting objectives, regulations, and implementation realities.

What We Look For

  • Strong motivation for research and writing
  • Interest in computational, empirical, or design-oriented research
  • Ability to work independently while receiving close supervision
  • Relevant skills in design, planning, data analysis, programming, or spatial tools
  • Availability for sustained thesis work within ongoing lab projects

Applying for This Position

Email Dr. Haya Brama with your CV and transcripts, using the subject line “Master’s Thesis Application”. In the email body, include:

  • Your degree program and year
  • A short description of your interests (2–3 topics)
