Research Interests

Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Digital Twin (DT) with a particular focus on Sustainable design or Energy efficiency is my primary research interest. Applying this will improve efficiency in Sustainable design and construction methods. Another study I have started is developing performance certification techniques for sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy & atmosphere, materials & resources, indoor environmental quality, innovation, and design.

Investigation of Digital Twins in the Perspective Construction Industry:
Based on
Literature Review

Digital twins (DT) leverage real‑time data to monitor physical assets, enable predictive maintenance, and support better decision‑making throughout a project’s life cycle. This study reviews ten key academic publications to (1) define DT, (2) identify challenges in applying DT within construction, and (3) analyze current research while outlining future directions and gaps. The paper was included in the ASCE International Conference on Computing in Civil Engineering 2023 proceedings, held June 25–28 in Corvallis, Oregon.

Perception of Students’ understanding of BIM with Sustainable Design

The paper utilizes surveys and quantitative analysis to study the extant gap between the BIM curriculum in universities and the understanding of its students, from which faculty can make proper adjustments to provide students with an optimized study program. I have submitted my abstract to the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) in February 2022, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.

Applying BIM and Energy analysis on Energy savings in the Campus facilities

This study investigates main aspects of environmental quality. By using the experiments and testing method, a commons building at the the campus of Kennesaw State University was chosen as a case study as for the energy performance analysis before performing the energy analysis software.
