Prof. Jong-Won Seo currently works as a Professor at the Construction Management and Automation Lab,
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Hanyang University, Seoul,
Republic of Korea. He was an Associate Professor from 2008 to 2013, and an Assistant
Professor from 2002 to 2008 at this university. He earned, a Master’s Degree
and a Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Austin in 1993 and 1998 separately.
He is pursuing state-of-the-art research and development in construction
and civil infrastructure including both soft and hard automation. He is mainly
focusing on design/construction/maintenance/operation automation, innovative
sensing and information technologies for infrastructure monitoring and
maintenance. A low carbon construction equipment operating system, a flexible BIM
system for design, construction and maintenance of alignment-based civil
structure, and an infrastructure maintenance system based on BIM are his recent
research projects.
Prof. Sung-Keun Kim is currently a Professor at the Digital Construction Lab, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Seoul National University of Science and Technology, Seoul, Republic of Korea. He previously served as an Associate Professor from 2011 to 2017 and as an Assistant Professor from 2006 to 2011 at the same university. He earned his Master’s degree from Chung-Ang University, Seoul, Republic of Korea, in 1996, and his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2001. Prof. Kim’s research and development efforts focus on cutting-edge technologies in construction and civil infrastructure, including both software and hardware automation. His work primarily centers on construction BIM and its integration with machine control (MC) and machine guidance (MG) systems, enabling construction equipment to generate autonomously work paths based on given conditions and operator heuristics. Additionally, he is conducting research on estimating carbon emissions associated with various types of construction activities.
