I am a Ph.D. Student in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

I am passionate about applications of Computer Vision, Deep Learning & Data Analytics Techniques in the construction industry. My main research area is in proactive production and productivity monitoring of a construction project.

With experience gained across different construction sectors, partaking in many roles along the lifecycle of a construction project, and research skills developed around Construction, Computer Vision, and Machine Learning concepts, my vision is shaped for introducing AI into the construction industry.

My research interests are in: Lean construction, Forecasting Time Series of Construction Labor Productivity using Deep Learning, Analytics on Root Causes for Delays on Construction Activities, Automated Production Monitoring of Construction using Computer Vision, and Automated 4D BIM.
