About

Amir H. Behzadan is a leading researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, and the built environment, with a primary focus on transforming the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Facilities Management (AEC/FM) sectors. His work explores how emerging technologies—including AI, computer vision, and unmanned aerial systems—can enhance construction safety, productivity, and automation. In his highly cited 2022 paper, “Artificial Intelligence in the Construction Industry,” Behzadan provides a comprehensive roadmap for integrating AI into construction workflows, addressing challenges in sensing, wearables, and robotics. More recently, his 2024 work, “A Roadmap to the Next-Generation Technology-Enabled Learning-Centered Environments in AEC Education,” tackles the urgent need to modernize AEC curricula in response to rapid technological and societal shifts. With over 8,000 citations to his name, Behzadan’s contributions have shaped both academic research and industry practice. He is also recognized for pioneering the use of augmented reality and immersive technologies in construction training, earning multiple best paper awards and NSF grants. His work continues to inspire a new generation of engineers and researchers to rethink how we design, build, and learn.
