Dr. Kwonsik Song serves as an Assistant Professor of Practice at the Purdue Polytechnic Institute, Purdue University, where he integrates advanced technologies like AI, VR, and human sensing into construction education to enhance active learning environments with emphasis on safety and sustainability.
His academic foundation includes:
- Ph.D. in Architecture and Architectural Engineering from Seoul National University
- M.Sc. in Architecture and Architectural Engineering from Seoul National University
- B.Sc. in Architectural Engineering from Sejong University
Research focuses on technology-driven pedagogy applying learning theories and behavioral science to construction education. Key domains include human factors in VR safety training, AI-driven energy consumption analysis, and social norm interventions for sustainable building operations. His work bridges construction engineering with behavioral insights to address real-world safety and sustainability challenges.
Recent publications reveal strong interdisciplinary trends connecting energy systems, human behavior modeling, and cyber-physical construction environments. The research consistently employs data clustering, VR simulations, and normative messaging to optimize safety outcomes and energy efficiency across residential and construction contexts.
Scientific recognition includes:
- ES19 Conference Travel Grant from National Science Foundation (2019)
- BECC Fellowship from Precourt Energy Efficiency Center (2018)
- Post-Doctoral Fellowship from National Research Foundation of Korea (2018)
Professional engagement spans membership in Associated Schools of Construction (ASC), American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), complemented by OSHA 30-Hour Training (2024) and South Korean engineering licenses in architecture, construction materials, and safety (2008-2009).
