Biography
Dr. Al-Hussein's research findings have been applied by industry professionals in a number of major construction projects. As a result of his critical research in construction engineering and management, Dr. Al-Hussein has emerged as a renowned and highly sought researcher and consultant in his field. The following are samples of some of Dr. Al-Hussein's major current and past projects.
Research Interest
Dr. Al-Hussein is undertaking research that will ultimately revolutionize the current on-site stick-built construction process. He is working on creating a multidisciplinary building construction manufacturing network. The objective of the multidisciplinary network is to establish an industrialized construction process that allows builders to reduce construction costs and cycle time. At the same time, this new process generates higher quality products, creates healthier environments for workers and residents, and produces more energy-efficient buildings. The network will integrate discipline-specific research including engineering, computing, social and health sciences to coordinate cross-disciplinary knowledge that capitalizes on a manufacturing approach to establish a notably better design and construction method. Many entities stand to benefit from this network, such as the public sector, institutions (schools and hospitals), and residential builders.
