Dr. Mahmoud Alhawamdeh serves as a Lecturer in Business and Management at Bath Business School, Bath Spa University, joining in 2024. He concurrently acts as Link Tutor for the BSc (Hons) Construction Management program at Global Banking School, overseeing curriculum development and quality assurance across institutional boundaries.

His academic credentials include:

• PhD in Construction and Project Management, University of Salford
• MSc in Construction Management, University of Salford
• BEng in Civil Engineering, The Hashemite University (Zarqa/Jordan)

Research focuses on sustainable construction innovation, integrating circular economy principles with behavioral science to address waste management challenges. His work bridges academic theory and industry practice through systematic analyses of offsite construction barriers, demolition waste streams, and cultural factors influencing contractor behavior. Current projects emphasize scalable solutions for resource efficiency in global construction contexts.

Publication trends reveal a strategic concentration on meta-synthetic methodologies (2021-2025), with 50% of output dedicated to circular economy implementation frameworks. Key thematic clusters include waste minimization behavioral models (28%), offsite construction optimization (22%), and policy-driven sustainable design (50%), demonstrating consistent evolution from foundational waste management studies toward systemic circular economy integration.

Dr. Alhawamdeh actively supervises postgraduate students while leveraging substantial industry experience in construction to inform pedagogy. His funded research includes the RECONMATIC project (European Commission D1.1 report), indicating successful grant acquisition for policy-relevant investigations into construction waste management. Collaborative networks span UK, European, and Middle Eastern institutions.

Research operations involve cross-institutional teams focused on sustainable built environment innovation, with recent collaborations including University of Salford and European Commission initiatives. Current work prioritizes behavioral interventions for waste reduction and circular economy adoption in construction supply chains.
