About

Dr. Gabriella Santi is a forward-thinking researcher at the intersection of construction engineering, workforce development, and emerging technologies. Her primary research areas focus on the integration of robotic automation and artificial intelligence within the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sectors, with a particular emphasis on preparing the future workforce for these technological shifts. Her most-cited work, "Preparing the Future Workforce of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction for Robotic Automation Processes" (2020), has garnered 14 citations and stands as a pivotal contribution to the discourse on human-machine collaboration in construction. In this paper, Dr. Santi challenges prevailing myths about job displacement, presenting data-driven insights that reframe automation as a catalyst for skill evolution rather than obsolescence. Her research is notable for bridging the gap between technical innovation and human capital strategy, offering actionable frameworks for educators, policymakers, and industry leaders. Through her work, Dr. Santi has established herself as a key voice in ensuring that the AEC workforce is not left behind in the age of robotics, making her research essential reading for students and professionals navigating the future of construction.
