Research Fellow

We are seeking a Research Fellow to develop AI-enabled cloud analytics and BIM-based Digital Twin systems for real-time geometry monitoring and control in bridge and viaduct construction.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop cloud-based pipelines to process robotic/ATS survey data
• Build AI/analytics models for alignment, deflection, and tolerance control
• Design real-time dashboards and alert systems
• Develop BIM-integrated Digital Twin for design vs. as-built comparison
• Implement DfC analytics and what-if simulations for construction decision-making
• Support project management, procurement of equipment/software, and coordination with stakeholders
• Prepare technical reports, publications, and project deliverables
• Support system deployment with industry partners and contribute to IP development

Requirements

• PhD in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or related field
• Strong skills in AI/ML, data analytics, or digital twin systems
• Experience with BIM (e.g., Revit/IFC) and data integration
• Programming experience (e.g., Python, cloud platforms)
• Ability to work independently and across interdisciplinary teams
• Experience in sensor data fusion, automation, or robotics in construction is a plus
• Familiarity with IDD, DfC, or digital twin applications is a plus
