Digital Construction Management
Development of digital systems for planning, procurement, construction monitoring, reporting and control of civil engineering projects.
Research & Innovation
Research Interests
My research focuses on the intersection of Civil Engineering, Computer Science, infrastructure management, procurement, project delivery and digital transformation.
Interdisciplinary Focus
Connecting engineering practice with computing
Modern infrastructure delivery increasingly depends on reliable data, digital systems, automation, intelligent decision support and effective project governance. My research interests therefore bring engineering and computing together to address practical infrastructure and management challenges.
Infrastructure Information Systems
Application of information systems to infrastructure asset management, project databases, decision support and institutional knowledge management.
Artificial Intelligence in Civil Engineering
Investigation of intelligent and data-driven approaches for construction planning, risk assessment, prediction, monitoring and engineering decision-making.
Project Cost & Performance Analytics
Use of data analytics to improve cost control, schedule performance, project forecasting and infrastructure delivery outcomes.
Public Procurement & Contract Management
Research into procurement systems, contractor performance, contract administration and governance of public infrastructure projects.
Digital Transformation in Public Works
Design and adoption of digital tools that improve transparency, coordination, institutional efficiency and evidence-based infrastructure management.
Academic Research Foundations
Research connecting Computer Science and Civil Engineering
My academic research has progressively explored the use of computing, information visualization and software architecture to address practical problems involving engineering systems, information management and data interoperability.
A Service-Oriented Architecture for Data Interoperability in Web Applications
Doctoral research in Computer Science examining the use of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) to improve data interoperability among heterogeneous web applications.
The research addressed the architectural and information integration challenges involved in enabling independent web-based systems to exchange and use data effectively.
A Framework for Visualizing Detection of Failure in Simply Supported Reinforced Concrete Beam Structure (SSRCBS)
Master's research integrating Civil Engineering and Computer Science through an information-visualization framework for detecting failure in simply supported reinforced concrete beam structures.
The work developed a visualization-based reinforced concrete design environment using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) approach, Visual Basic .NET and AutoCAD.
These studies established an interdisciplinary research direction in which computing techniques are applied to engineering, information-management and decision-support problems. This foundation continues in current work involving digital construction management, infrastructure information systems and CivilWorks Manager.
