Assistant Professor, Construction Management, College of Architecture and Environmental Design, Kent State University
Hey, thanks for stopping by ! 
My research interests lie in bolstering the reliability, sustainability, and resilience of construction and infrastructure systems:
- Automate digital twins of construction and infrastructure operations with multi-modal data capture and processing technologies.
- Accelerate large-scale learning tasks by leveraging machine learning (ML) systems techniques and human intelligence.
- Promote reliable, equitable, and resilient construction and infrastructure operations under uncertainties.
