Research Interests
In general, my research aims at increasing the sustainability and intelligence of the design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure and buildings. It consists of three major components:
- Application of AI technologies for design automation.
- Application of computer vision and robotics to improve the safety and productivity of construction operations.
- Infrastructure and building condition assessment using the internet of things with public participation (Crowdsensing-based infrastructure and building health monitoring).
