Yongping Liu

Yongping Liu is an Associate Professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), affiliated with the Department of Manufacturing and Civil Engineering in Gjøvik. His research spans sustainable construction, digital building technologies, and renewable energy systems with strong emphasis on Norwegian infrastructure contexts.

His research interests focus on Building Information Modeling (BIM), carbon emissions analysis, and wind turbine technology, with significant contributions to digital twin applications and sustainable construction practices. Recent work integrates AI with construction engineering, particularly in federated learning approaches for wind turbine icing detection and BIM-IoT data fusion systems.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals a consistent trajectory toward digital construction technologies (BIM, drones, IoT) applied to environmental sustainability challenges. Key thematic clusters include embodied carbon assessment (2024), resource-constrained scheduling algorithms (2023), and wind energy infrastructure optimization (2022). His work demonstrates strong industry collaboration with Norwegian construction firms and consistent publication in top-tier engineering journals.

Teaching responsibilities include specialized courses such as MIB4105 (AI for Building Technology), MIB4501 (Building Informatics), and VB8000 (AI and Digital Twins for Engineering), reflecting his expertise in digital construction technologies.
