Samad Mohammad Ebrahimzade Sepasgozar

Associate Professor Samad Mohammad Ebrahimzade Sepasgozar is a distinguished academic at the University of New South Wales, serving in the School of Built Environment within the Faculty of Arts, Design & Architecture. With a PhD from UNSW, he has established himself as a leading researcher in digital construction technologies, particularly in the areas of Digital Twin, BIM-GIS implementation, and sustainable construction practices. His research spans interdisciplinary fields including Building Construction, Architecture, City Planning, Remote Sensing, and Information Systems.

Professor Sepasgozar's research interests focus on the intersection of digital technologies and construction practices. He has published extensively on Digital Twin applications, BIM-GIS integration, and the adoption of modern construction technologies. His work bridges theoretical research with practical applications, addressing critical challenges in the built environment sector such as sustainability, efficiency, and technological integration. His research has significant implications for both academic discourse and industry practice in construction and architecture.

His recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward integrating artificial intelligence with construction technologies, with emphasis on practical implementation of Digital Twin concepts, sustainable building practices, and risk management solutions. The research shows increasing sophistication in methodology, with numerous case studies examining real-world applications of emerging technologies across different geographic contexts, particularly in Australia, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific regions.
