About

Dr. Sara Shirowzhan is a leading researcher at the forefront of digital construction, whose work is fundamentally reshaping how the built environment is designed, built, and managed. Her primary research areas span Building Information Modeling (BIM), Digital Twins, and the integration of advanced technologies like robotics and remote operations into construction processes. Dr. Shirowzhan’s most significant contribution lies in her visionary analysis of how these technologies converge to form the future of the industry. Her landmark 2023 paper, "BIM and Digital Twin for Developing Convergence Technologies as Future of Digital Construction," which has garnered 138 citations, compellingly argues that the COVID-19 pandemic acted as a powerful catalyst, accelerating the adoption of what were once considered "farfetched" digital solutions. By demonstrating how these tools can enhance efficiency, safety, and resilience, her work provides a critical roadmap for an industry traditionally slow to innovate. Dr. Shirowzhan’s research is not merely theoretical; it offers practical, data-driven insights that are essential for students and professionals seeking to navigate the ongoing digital transformation of construction.
