Regenerative Design and Construction

Dr. M. Reza Hosseini works on sustainable construction, integrating advanced digital technologies to revolutionize building practices. As a Senior Lecturer in construction technology at the University of Melbourne, his expertise in Building Information Modeling (BIM), Internet of Things (IoT), and Industry 4.0 drives innovation in decarbonizing and a transition towards a circular economy in construction management and civil engineering. His scholarly work emphasizes eco-efficient methods, sustainable materials, and intelligent systems to minimize environmental footprints while enhancing construction efficiency Dr Masoumeh Bararzadeh-Ledari researches on sustainable energy and environmental research, primarily focused on the evolving energy sector. Key projects include developing a comprehensive climate-land use-energy-water nexus strategy and emphasizing socio-economic factors. She also works on carbon-free hydrogen generation methods for the steel industry Professor Robert Crawford specializes in sustainability and life cycle assessment within the built environment. As a professor in the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning, he educates on key topics such as life cycle assessment and construction prefabrication Professor Tuan Ngo leads the the Building 4.0 CRC and the ARC Training Centre for Advanced Manufacturing of Prefabricated Housing; he has spearheaded significant innovations in the construction industry. His achievements include winning the 2013 Eureka Prize, being recognized as the top expert in Composite Materials in 2022, and receiving multiple awards for his contributions to the field Professor Farzad Rahimian works on sustainable construction. His research is dedicated to examining sustainable construction practices. Professor Rahimian's research spans various facets of the construction industry, including digital engineering, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and the Internet of Things (IoT), with a specific focus on enhancing sustainability. His contributions drive innovation in construction management, emphasizing eco-efficient methods, green building materials, and intelligent systems Professor Vivian W. Y. Tam is the Associate Dean (Research and HDR), Associate Dean (International) and Discipline Leader (Construction Management) at School of Built Environment, Western Sydney University, Australia. She is nominated to the College of Expert, Australian Research Council, Australian Government. She received her Ph.D. in sustainable construction from the Department of Building and Construction at City University of Hong Kong. Her research interests are in the areas of environmental management in construction and sustainable development. She is currently the Editor-in-Chief of International Journal of Construction Management and Editor of Construction and Building Materials.
