Scholarship: Automation and Digital Technologies in Architectural & Engineering
PhD Scholarship - The application of automation and digital technologies in architectural & engineering design (construction and infrastructure projects)
This PhD studentship relates to research projects aiming to explore the application of automation and digital technologies in architectural & engineering design. Projects should focus on (but not restricted to) topics such as parametric modelling, visual programming languages, rule-based modelling approaches, generative design and artificial intelligence.
Projects should focus on the interplay between practice and theory focusing on practical implementation/theory building, leading to important contributions in both domains. While developing their research projects, applicants are encouraged to explore the interplay between automation & digital technologies with other themes e.g., (i) regulatory compliance; (ii) Building Information Modelling (BIM); (iii) requirements management and modelling; (iv) lean construction; (v) collaboration, participation & trust building; and (vi) net-zero and circular economy.
The PhD student will be supervised by Dr Joao Soliman-Junior, whose research interest covers the application of digital technologies, automation and Building Information Modelling (BIM) to support architectural and engineering building design and construction.
This project offers a VC fee-waiver with an annual £3000 bursary for 3 years and is open to home candidates.
