Salman Azhar is Hunt Professor and Graduate Programs Chair at Auburn University's McWhorter School of Building Science. His research advances BIM, VR/AR, and sustainable construction technologies.
Research focuses on reality capture for construction, BIM-based sustainability assessment, and emerging technologies in AEC. He developed frameworks for carbon emission tracking through building lifecycles and modular construction optimization.
Publications demonstrate leadership in construction digitization, with early foundational work on BIM adoption evolving into specialized applications in sustainability, prefabrication, and field operations. Recent reviews establish global research trends in reality capture and carbon management.
As Graduate Programs Chair, he leads MS and PhD programs. International collaborations include projects in Kazakhstan, UAE, and Turkey. Laboratory activities integrate VR systems for construction education and jobsite applications.
