School of Engineering and Technology
Dr. Kaveh Mirzaei is a Lecturer at the College of Project Management, Built Environment, Asset & Maintenance Management (CoPBA), School of Engineering and Technology, Central Queensland University (CQUniversity). Kaveh holds a Bachelor degree in Civil Engineering, Masters degree in Construction Engineering and Management, and a PhD degree in Civil Engineering awarded by Monash University.
Kaveh has been researching productivity and sustainability issues in the construction industry and the built environment and has been active in productivity and sustainability research since 2017. His doctoral research was related to the development of automated methods for inspecting the quality of construction and infrastructure projects using Artificial Intelligence (AI), Computer Vision, and Data Science. He was also involved in the development of the Digital Twin model of the Monash Innovation Labs. Moreover, Kaveh was involved with Victorian Building Authority (VBA) in a project to evaluate emerging technologies for remote inspections of building work. During his Masters studies, Kaveh focused on building energy retrofit projects aimed at enhancing the sustainability of existing structures while providing financial and social incentives for stakeholders.
