RESEARCH
Research Assistant, University of Nottingham, Malaysia Campus
Final Year Project - Master's thesis
Project: A framework for Extraction of Asset Information from REVIT Models for UNM Facility Management
Project: Digital Twin of the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus - Building Information Modeling & Virtual Reality
Project: Future-proofing Klang Valley's veins with REBET: A framework for directing transportation technologies towards infrastructure resilience Project: Virtual Reality in Engineering Education for Students with Special Needs
Developed a framework, along with a team of 3, which extracts asset information from REVIT BIM Models --> Uses Dynamo scripts for automation and calculations --> COBie Sheets to categorize the data --> Python scripts to parse the data into RDF format --> RDF data fed into a statistical relational learning model which is coupled with a reinforcement learning agent for optimization of building automation. Worked on the development of the campus digital twin through: 1. Validated the 7 models of the buildings on campus, correcting any modeling and information errors.
2. Integrated the 7 buildings into one model using Autodesk Navisworks. 1. Conducted data analysis for statistical data collected by participants in the VR experiment.
2. Conducted a comprehensive review of the literature on the topic. 3. Co-authored a paper summarizing the project.

Developed a framework for prioritizing emerging technologies for transport resilience through:
1. Conducted a Delphi technique with 30 experts to identify the most relevant technologies in the region. The experts are then required to reach consensus on the impact of each technology on resilience considering different attributes. 2. Conducted statistical and quantitative analysis on the data, and using multiple linear regression, developed a relationship between technologies and resilience.
