Research Interests

I focus my research on creating symbolic product and process models to represent the information required in the life cycle of engineered facilities. My main interests are in integrating these models to facilitate data exchange among project participants and phases, to support computer-aided construction planning, and to automate constructibility feedback. I am also interested in linking 3D-CAD technology to these models to visualize the impact of design and construction planning decisions on the time to complete a project and on the space needs of activities over time.
