معرفی
Christopher Görsch is a Visiting Professor at Aalto University’s Department of Civil Engineering, focusing on construction workflows, productivity, and situational awareness. He holds a PhD in Construction Engineering (2024) and a Master’s in Engineering from Bauhaus-Universität Weimar (2016). His research emphasizes reducing waste in construction, improving worker efficiency, and integrating digital tools like digital twins and AI into workflows. Key projects include the ACTOR initiative for automated coordination of construction actors and studies on self-managed teams. Görsch has received the Greg Howell Best Paper Award (2022) and a Research Visit Grant to Swinburne University (2020).
His work spans academic qualifications, including a doctoral thesis on task planning in construction. Research interests highlight interdisciplinary approaches combining technology (e.g., IoT, AI) with human factors, such as worker demands and situational awareness. Collaborations include teams analyzing workflow interruptions and sustainability in BIM systems. Press coverage highlights his findings on productivity losses in construction work.
- Education: PhD in Construction Engineering (Aalto U., 2024), M.Sc. Engineering (Bauhaus U., 2016)
- Key Projects: ACTOR Project, Building 2030 Digital Twin Initiative
