Dr. Yee Sye Lee serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Monash University, located at the Clayton Campus within the Faculty of Engineering. He completed his PhD in Civil Engineering from Monash University on December 4, 2024, with the thesis titled 'Development of Point Cloud Recognition with Mixed Reality Technology for Automated Quality Control in Light Steel Framing Assembly.' He previously completed his undergraduate studies in the Department of Civil Engineering at Monash University. During his PhD candidature, he was supported by a fee waiver scholarship from Monash University Malaysia.
Dr. Lee's scholarly contributions focus on advancing construction engineering through digital technologies, evidenced by his publications in peer-reviewed journals. Key works include 'Convolutional Neural Network-Based Approach Through Mixed Reality in Identification of Light-Gauge Steel Framing Structural Elements for Quality Control' (2025, Lecture Notes in Civil Engineering, Vol. 685, Springer); 'Innovative Point Cloud Segmentation of 3D Light Steel Framing System through Synthetic BIM and Mixed Reality Data: Advancing Construction Monitoring' (2024, Buildings, 14(4), 952); 'A Comparison Study on the Learning Effectiveness of Construction Training Scenarios in a Virtual Reality Environment' (2023, Virtual Worlds, 2(1), 3); 'Integration of deep learning and extended reality technologies in construction engineering and management: a mixed review method' (2022, Engineering, Construction and Architectural Management, 29(3), 671-697); and 'Developing engineering students' capabilities through game-based virtual reality technology for building utility inspection' (2022, Engineering, Construction and Architectural Management, 29(8), 3214-3236). These publications, affiliated with the Malaysia School of Engineering and collaborators including Ali Rashidi, Amin Talei, Daniel Kong, and Huai Jian Beh, have accumulated 141 citations. He contributes to teaching, including the unit ENG1021 Spatial Communication in Engineering.
