Priya is a Post-doctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Civil Engineering at Monash University, working on several projects that investigate the platform ecosystem business model at the Building 4.0 CRC. Priya’s research interest sprouts from Industry 4.0 applications in the building industry, specifically around business model innovation. During her doctoral research at the Centre for Smart Modern Construction (c4SMC) at Western Sydney University, she worked on developing a maturity model for construction enterprises to assess their Industry 4.0 capabilities. Before commencing her doctoral research, Priya worked for Larsen and Toubro Construction for over half a decade in the planning, monitoring and control of infrastructure projects of systems of transportation such as highways, runways, and elevated corridors. She had a short stint with the US-based technology-driven construction start-up Katerra.

Dr Amer A. Hijazi currently works as Assistant Professor at -Ahliyya Amman University, Jordan. He had a long-standing association with the industry and academia alike, with a decade of experience predominantly focused on management practices, with a strong emphasis on information technology and computer science in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the MENA region. Dr Amer pursued his doctorate from the Centre for Smart Modern Construction, Western Sydney University (Australia), with a value of around 0.25 million, to develop a comprehensive framework that integrates blockchain capability suitable for the construction industry and its interrelation with BIM, to develop a BIM single source of truth (BIMSSoT) model. He aced the ‘Blockchain Strategy Program’ offered by (Oxford University) and also the Digital Transformation: From AI and IoT to Cloud, Blockchain, and Cybersecurity Programme by Massachusetts Institute of Technology which helped him acquire the strategies he needs to respond to the latest developments in the construction sector. Dr Amer holds a Master of Science degree from the University of the West of England, Bristol in BIM, Design Construction and Operation and a Bachelor of Engineering from Hashemite University. He has made significant contributions to several international research projects as part of the Building 4.0 CRC in collaboration with Monash University, the University of Melbourne and Centre of Digital Built Britain at the University of Cambridge.

Duncan is Director and Senior Lecturer at the Future Building Initiative at Monash University and Program Leader for Building 4.0 CRC. In addition, he is a Registered Architect (Qld). Duncan’s research interests lie broadly in the industrialisation of construction, that is, the introduction of innovative techniques and processes to define new ways of designing and producing buildings. His PhD thesis, “The Case for Design-Value in Industrialised House Building Platforms: Product to Ecosystem”, examined how product platforms have been adapted to construction, from manufacturing, in order to coordinate the design and prefabrication of multi-storey buildings. The thesis argued for a greater emphasis on design in these platform approaches in order to develop new forms of value beyond economy and efficiency, proposing a new platform-based vision for industry. Since the award of his PhD, Duncan’s research has considered the following: the role of logistics strategy in construction supply chain management; articulating the benefits of product platforms to industry; collaboration with Swedish industrialised construction researchers; the study of German and Swiss ‘Learning Factories’; and project managing a survey of Australian house-building companies to understand the sector’s constraints and future requirements.

Robert C. Moehler is a Senior Lecturer in Engineering Project Management in the Department of Infrastructure Engineering at The University of Melbourne and an Adjunct Lecturer at Monash University with an academic career spanning over 15 years. Robert is Business Model Theme Coordinator for the Building 4.0 CRC. Robert's primary interests lie in Project Management and Business Model Innovation. His research brings project management, open innovation, and sustainable engineering into a unique intersection, shedding light on new possibilities for infrastructural projects. Robert's current projects include the integration of a value approach through co-creation and co-design in the project-based industries, focusing on knowledge artefacts for community engagement, project-process integration of information systems to enhance collaboration and business model innovation through a platform-supported project delivery.
