معرفی
Minsoo Baek is an Associate Professor in the Construction Management Department at Kennesaw State University's College of Architecture and Construction Management. He serves as Director of the cross-disciplinary RAISE Lab (Resilient Architecture and Infrastructure for a Sustainable Environment), which integrates design, construction, and intelligent systems to address resilience and sustainability challenges in built environments.
His research focuses on data-driven methodologies including advanced statistical modeling, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to improve decision-making in construction projects. He investigates uncertainties across project lifecycles - from economic risks to environmental challenges - while pioneering sustainable construction practices through technologies like autonomous robotics and digital twins. The RAISE Lab fosters collaborations between architecture, civil engineering, and construction management disciplines.
