Living Lab
From real problems
to research.
We investigate real institutional systems, not only simulated environments.
Appropriate real-world systems provide controlled opportunities for experimentation, observation, and evaluation. This is what differentiates DRAKA Labs from a conventional research group: the lab treats live institutional environments as a place to learn.
