About

Dr. Giancarlo Perez is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of advanced technology and workforce development, with a primary focus on the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industries. His work centers on how Artificial Intelligence, Information Technology, Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR), and Robotic Automation are fundamentally reshaping the AEC workforce. Dr. Perez’s major contribution lies in critically examining the dual impact of these technologies: while they drive innovation and efficiency, they also pose significant risks of job displacement and skill obsolescence. His most-cited work, "Work in Progress: Towards an Immersive Robotics Training for the Future of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Workforce" (2020, 25 citations), proposes a forward-looking solution—immersive robotics training—to bridge the emerging skills gap. By advocating for proactive, technology-integrated educational frameworks, Dr. Perez is helping to ensure that the future AEC workforce is not left behind by automation. His research is vital for educators, policymakers, and industry leaders seeking to navigate the complex transition toward a tech-driven construction landscape, making him a key voice in shaping a resilient and adaptive workforce for the 21st century.
