Scientific Interests

Infrastructure’s Economic Evaluation

  • Probabilistic life-cycle cost analysis of infrastructures. e.g. tunnels, bridges, etc.
  • Integrated system of cost-benefit analysis of infrastructure projects
  • Dynamic predictive system for bridges’ life-cycle “service value”
  • Integrated system for fast, early estimation of road work quantities, duration and cost

Operation Analysis, Construction Equipment Management and Economics

  • Dynamic planning of construction sites for linear projects
  • Machine learning application for construction equipment productivity optimization
  • Application of multi-criteria analysis (MCDA) methods for hierarchizing the construction equipment’s procurement criteria
  • Application of MCDA methods for hierarchizing the construction equipment operator’s performance factors for optimizing the equipment’s productivity
  • Construction equipment economic life optimization by tracking their operating and maintenance time-patterns (history)
  • Machine learning applications for predicting construction equipment economic indicators (eg. residual value)
  • Conceptual model development for applying a comprehensive prescriptive maintenance model, as an evolution of the predictive maintenance model

Management of Infrastructure Projects

  • Infrastructure and Large Project Procurement
  • Management of Public Contracts
  • Exploring the mechanisms for Value-for Money diffusion in the Design and Procurement of Infrastructure Projects
  • Resilience Engineering
  • Management of Construction Companies
  • Management of Information Systems in Civil Engineering Projects
