University of Minnesota – Human Dimensioning Laboratory
NexGenPPT partners with the University of Minnesota’s Human Dimensioning Laboratory, a leading research facility focused on human anthropometry, ergonomics, and user-centered design. The lab specializes in collecting high-precision human body measurements and translating them into design insights for products, protective equipment, and safety systems.
University of Texas at Austin – Fire Research Group (Dr. Ofodike Ezekoye)
NexGenPPT also partners with the research group led by Dr. Ofodike Ezekoye at the University of Texas at Austin, which focuses on fire safety engineering, heat transfer, and combustion systems. The lab integrates experimental and computational methods to study fire dynamics, battery safety, and hazardous environments, contributing to improved safety strategies and engineering design.
This collaboration strengthens the connection between human-centered data and fire safety applications, particularly in understanding exposure risks and improving protective equipment for first responders.
