I am a Lecturer in Construction Management and Engineering at the Department of Civil Engineering, Surveying and Construction Management at Kingston University. Prior to joining Kingston University, I was a PhD candidate in the Construction Information Technology (CIT) research group at the University of Cambridge, UK. My doctoral research characterises methods that can generate and update rail infrastructure digital twins using computer vision and pattern recognition technologies. This project was sponsored by Cambridge Commonwealth European and International Trust (Cambridge Trust) and Bentley Systems (UK) Limited. I received my BSc (Hons) degree in Quantity Surveying from the University of Moratuwa Sri Lanka, where I worked as a Lecturer. I have teaching and research supervision experience as a Postgraduate Teaching Assistant at the University of Cambridge, Course Facilitator at Cloud-based Building Information Modelling (CBIM) European Training Network, and as a Principle Supervisor at the Institute of Continuing Education (ICE), University of Cambridge. My research work includes several novel applications of advanced data tools that support informed decision-making at all levels of the infrastructure life cycle, specifically focusing on Digital Twins in the Built Environment, Building Information Modelling (BIM), Construction Automation and Informatics, Smart and Sustainable Cities, and Construction Economics applications. I work as an ongoing reviewer for a number of reputable international journals and conferences in Construction Automation and Informatics.
