I am a Researcher in the buildingSMART Korea, working in the field of Construction Informatics at the intersection of Building Information Modeling (BIM), Digital Twins, Extended Reality (XR), Artificial Intelligence, and Robotics.
My research focuses on developing semantically connected and intelligent digital environments that bridge building information, physical assets, humans, and autonomous systems throughout the building lifecycle.
A central theme of my work is improving interoperability between BIM, real-time environments, AI systems, and robotic platforms. This includes semantic BIM-to-XR workflows, trustworthy AI-assisted inspection, LLM-grounded BIM interaction, robot-ready building information, human-robot collaboration, and digital twin systems for construction and built-asset monitoring.
| Semantic information exchange across BIM authoring tools, openBIM / IFC, databases, digital twins, real-time engines, AI systems, and robotic platforms. | Digital twin architectures that connect physical assets, BIM elements, inspection evidence, sensor information, provenance, reliability, and decision histories. |
| BIM-to-XR pipelines for virtual and mixed reality applications supporting construction planning, inspection, information access, collaboration, and asset management. | Grounded large language models, conversational BIM interfaces, agentic AI, automated design review, requirements interpretation, and AI-assisted decision support. |
| Integration of BIM, digital twins, autonomous robots, sensing systems, and simulation environments for construction, inspection, and built-asset operations. | Human and robot coordination in shared built environments, including workflow planning, shared infrastructure, robot navigation, vertical transportation, and operational efficiency. |
| Integration of RGB imagery, point clouds, computer vision, multimodal sensing, BIM, and AI for automated inspection, progress monitoring, defect assessment, and evidence-based decision making. | Building information and design strategies that improve robot accessibility, navigation, task execution, information exchange, and long-term human-robot coexistence. |
| Digital methods for Design for Manufacture and Assembly, modular construction planning, prefabrication, production simulation, inspection, and lifecycle information integration. | BIM-based construction sequencing, workflow simulation, virtual environments, productivity analysis, and operational scenario evaluation. |
