The purpose of this study is to develop the scope of an R&D project for digital transformation for the whole plant project life cycle. Specifically, digital transformation for the EPC projects that connects and integrates information from Engineering, Procurement, and Construction with the focus on Construction will be investigated.
The purpose of this study is to investigate construction equipment accidents. Specifically, this study analyzes construction equipment accident data and conducts field expert interviews. Based on the data analyses and interviews, this study investigates the causes of equipment accidents and develops scenarios on how those accidents occur. Based on the investigation, requirements for certain types of technologies to prevent accidents are proposed.
The purpose of this study is to suggest plans to prevent accidents in construction sites. For this, this study collects and analyzes accident data. Based on the data analyses and field expert interviews, this study proposes plans that public project owners can implement for preventing accidents.
The purpose of this study is to develop and customize the AWP system for the funding agency. Based on the benchmarking of AWP case studies, this study proposes the work flow suitable for the newly developed AWP system. In addition, the benefits of AWP implementation are measured.
The purpose of this study is to quantify the impact of DSC technologies. By analyzing changes in the processes adopting the DSC technologies, this study quantifies the benefits from the adoption. The benefits are classified into three categories: tangible benefits directly calculated from the processes, tangible benefits indirectly calculated by scenarios and company-level data, and intangible benefits which are not monetized.

This study provides a systematic assessment of integration-technology adoption. Two tools developed by the research help organizations assess their processes and evaluate integration opportunities in consideration of market/legal, organizational and process, and people-related issues. By applying the tools to practical cases, the study identifies major benefits and hindrances of information integration implementation in the construction industry. As a graduate research assistant, I developed one tool in Microsoft Excel, and collected and validated cases through interviews. I was also involved in publishing CII reports.

Funding Agency: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) / CII
This study measured the combined impacts of automation/integration technologies and best practices use on productivity. It provides evidence of complementarity between IT use and best practices on construction projects performance. My tasks in this research included (a) questionnaire development, (b) data collection and validation, (c) data analyses, and (d) report publication.
Role: Graduate Research Assistant (Supervisor: Dr. Stephen Thomas and Dr. Stephen Mulva)
Funding Agency: CII Benchmarking & Metrics Team
This research seeks to develop a benchmarking system for downstream oil and gas projects. The system benchmarks downstream processes such as hydrotreater, sulfer recovery unit, and coker, as well as general downstream projects. My tasks for this research include (a) metric value normalization, (b) design benchmarking key report, (c) questionnaire management, and (d) data validation.
Role: Graduate Research Assistant (Supervisor: Dr. Stephen Thomas and Dr. Stephen Mulva)
This research was involved with developing project-performance metrics and measurement systems for capital projects, validating and analyzing project data, and investigating the value of best practices. As a graduate research assistant, I worked on validating project data, preparing benchmarking key reports and training, analyzing value of best practices project data as well as assisting with the annual CII conference.
