I am currently an assistant professor at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. My research centers on construction digitalisation and robotic automation by leveraging state-of-the-art AI technologies (e.g., computer vision, deep/machine learning, and data science) and long-established system theories and knowledge. I am also interested in developing a human- and expert-level AI for construction management and establishing intervention strategies which aim to improve system performances (e.g., productivity, safety, and sustainability) in the era of human-AI collaborative environments.
