About

Hexu Liu is a leading researcher at the intersection of construction engineering, digital innovation, and human–robot collaboration. His work primarily focuses on off-site construction, building information modelling (BIM), and the integration of artificial intelligence into construction education and practice. Liu’s most influential contribution is his seminal 2019 review on BIM for off-site construction, which has garnered over 400 citations and serves as a foundational reference for researchers and practitioners seeking to digitize and streamline modular building processes. He has also advanced the understanding of human–robot collaboration in construction, notably through a 2023 study that systematically identifies the critical factors affecting brickwork productivity—a vital step toward designing safer, more efficient collaborative work environments. Most recently, Liu is pioneering adaptive cyber-training methods that leverage large language models, knowledge space representations, and worked examples to personalize construction education. His work bridges theoretical frameworks with practical, scalable solutions, making him a key figure in shaping the future of intelligent, technology-driven construction.
