Dr. Frank Ghansah is a Lecturer in Quantity Surveying at the Division of Construction, Property and Surveying, affiliated with the Digital x Data Research Centre since October 2023. He holds a PhD in Real Estate and Construction from the University of Hong Kong and advanced degrees from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, actively supervising PhD students in sustainable construction research.
His educational background includes:
- PhD in Real Estate and Construction, University of Hong Kong (2020-2023)
- MPhil in Project Management, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology
- BSc in Quantity Surveying and Construction Economics (First Class Honours), Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology
Dr. Ghansah's research centers on digital transformation for sustainable construction, with emphasis on BIM, digital twins, and AI applications to advance quality assurance, circular economy principles, and modular building methods. His work addresses critical challenges in low-carbon construction, smart building technologies, and supply chain resilience, particularly in developing contexts like Ghana.
Analysis of his 43 publications (2020-2025) reveals dominant trends in pandemic-impacted construction logistics, digital twin implementations for carbon management, and circular procurement frameworks. His research bridges digital innovation with practical sustainability outcomes, showing increasing focus on AI-driven solutions and developing-world applications since 2023.
Dr. Ghansah actively mentors PhD candidates and has secured major research funding including a HKD 5.31 million Collaborative Research Fund project on modular construction optimization and a RMB 5 million Theme-based Research Fund for digitalization initiatives. His peer-review activities span top journals like Engineering, Construction and Architectural Management and Smart and Sustainable Built Environment.
As a core member of the Digital x Data Research Centre, he leads international collaborations on human-robot construction teams, circular economy frameworks, and offsite manufacturing. His current projects integrate Ghanaian case studies with global supply chain innovations to develop context-specific digital construction solutions for emerging economies.
