معرفی
Jukka Puhto serves as a Senior Research Fellow in Civil Engineering at the University of Tampere and Head of Research Centre for the Knowledge Centre for Real Estate Development. His work bridges immersive technologies with practical applications in construction and real estate, leveraging a Doctor of Science (Technology) from Aalto University (2016) to drive innovation in digital solutions for the built environment.
His academic foundation includes:
- Doctor of Science (Technology), Aalto University, 2016
Dr. Puhto's research centers on Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Extended Reality (XR) applications within construction and facility management ecosystems. He investigates how social VR/AR transforms operative workflows, enhances property lifecycle management, and enables sustainable practices through collaborative digital environments. His focus on organizational adoption barriers and use-case development addresses critical industry pain points in technology implementation.
Analysis of his 2018-2024 publications reveals consistent advancement in XR integration: early work established collaborative AR frameworks for facility management (2018), evolved into social VR diffusion mechanisms (2020), matured with property lifecycle use cases (2022), and culminated in circular economy applications for renovation construction (2024). This trajectory demonstrates increasing sophistication in connecting immersive technologies with sustainability imperatives and operational efficiency.
