My research interests span a wide range of impactful topics, including real-time technologies, real estate investment, entrepreneurship and innovation, architecture design, design technologies, building information modeling, smart cities, smart buildings, adaptive architecture, corporate real estate, commercial real estate, computational design, augmented/virtual reality, robotic fabrication, building automation, and prefabricated construction. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of contributing to prestigious institutions like Harvard and MIT, as well as publishing in esteemed architectural journals and presenting at renowned conferences.
At the core of my research lies the "Real-time Architecture" framework, an integrated solution that incorporates hardware, software, and innovative methodologies to address these pressing challenges. My research spans two crucial dimensions: economic and environmental. I envision the built environment as a dynamic ecosystem, emphasizing its pivotal role in addressing evolving societal needs. The economic aspect revolves around quantifiable returns on investments and potential cost savings through technology implementations, while the environmental facet delves into occupants' performance and well-being, bridging the realms of building science with enhanced employee productivity and health.
If you're a student interested in any of these areas or share a passion for exploring the intersection of technology and architecture, I encourage you to get in touch with me.
