Ahmed WA Hammad is coordinator for the Master's in Construction Project Management at the Faculty of the Built Environment, UNSW Sydney. His research focuses on the use of technology, including Building Information Modeling (BIM) and machine-learning-based operational research (OR) methods for enhancing decision-making in construction. His past work has included novel approaches to solving OR problems in construction, including the site layout planning problem, facility location problem, the network design problem, vehicle routing problem (VRP), building and interior space layout planning, and urban planning. Dr Hammad's expertise lies in developing Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) Models, and Bi-level Programming Models, together with accompanying exact solution approaches for large scale instances. He has an extensive industry background in digital engineering, road design, construction engineering and interior design. See less
