About
Pouya Zangeneh is a leading researcher at the intersection of construction engineering and automation, with a primary focus on the transformative role of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in indoor construction environments. His seminal work, "Roles, Benefits, and Challenges of Using UAVs for Indoor Smart Construction Applications" (2017), has garnered 61 citations and fundamentally challenged the perception of construction as solely an outdoor activity. In this highly influential paper, Zangeneh systematically identified the critical barriers—such as confined spaces and poor lighting—that hinder automated data capture for progress monitoring, quality control, and project documentation. By mapping these challenges against the unique capabilities of UAVs, he provided a foundational roadmap for integrating aerial robotics into indoor construction workflows. This contribution has been instrumental in advancing smart construction practices, enabling more efficient, safer, and data-rich project management. Zangeneh’s work continues to inspire researchers and practitioners seeking to bridge the gap between field robotics and the complex, unstructured environments of modern building sites.
