His research interests lie at the intersection of human behavior and technology, particularly in modeling trust using psychophysiological signals, emotion recognition in dyadic interactions, and designing wearable systems for emotional support. He explores how users perceive and interact with AI systems, especially in high-risk and cross-cultural contexts. His work integrates HCI principles into software development practices, particularly in developing countries.

The recent publications reflect a strong trend in affective computing, trust modeling, and wearable technologies. His work spans facial emotion databases, vibrotactile feedback systems, and psychophysiological signal analysis. These contributions highlight a focus on user-centered design, ethical AI, and the application of technology in mental health and public services.

David Lamas has not been mentioned with any scientific awards in the provided text.

He has advised or collaborated with several researchers, including S. Sousa, V. Tomberg, A. Ogunyemi, I. B. Da Rosa, and others, particularly in studies related to trust, e-learning, and software industry practices. While specific grants are not listed, his extensive publication record suggests active research funding and project leadership. His work often involves international collaboration, especially with researchers in Estonia, Nigeria, and Afghanistan.

David Lamas is involved in research projects related to body-centric computing, brain-computer interfaces (e.g., BrainHack project), and digital library infrastructure. His work on vibrotactile displays (e.g., Be Me Vest, Vibmory) indicates active development in wearable technology for emotional and cognitive augmentation. He also contributes to the design of e-government architectures and digital inclusion initiatives in developing regions.
