    Well done to PhD students Hyunjung (Jennifer) Yoo for representing The Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction UCL at The 40th Annual ARCOM 2024

    Well done to PhD students Hyunjung (Jennifer) Yoo for representing The Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction UCL at The 40th Annual ARCOM (Association of Researchers in Construction Management) Conference.

    Hyunjung (Jennifer) Yoo presented her paper, "Analysis of Building Information Modelling Application in Linear Infrastructure Asset Management" in the AI/BIM/Digitalisation track. Co-authored with Dr Weiwei Chen and Dr Tim Broyd, the paper offered an in-depth analysis of BIM applications in linear infrastructure。





    Dr Weiwei Chen as Virtual & Augmented Reality Chair and DC Lab team give presentations on EC3 2024

    Over the summer, BSSC staff and PhD students attended the 2024 European Conference on Computing in Construction, the premier European Conference for information, communication, and technological research, innovation, and policy for the Construction Sector as a whole in Europe.

    DC Lab team attend the conference and give presentation as below:
    1. Diran Yu, Weiwei Chen, Tao Meng, Haiying Yu, Abdul-Majeed Mahamadu. Applications Of Immersive Technologies In Construction Computing: A Systematic Literature Review
    2. Hyunjung Yoo, Weiwei Chen, Diran Yu, Tim Broyd. A Systematic Literature Review Of Building Information Modelling (BIM) Application On Railway Asset Management
    3. Chu, Honghu, Weiwei Chen, and Lu Deng. Fine-Grained Segmentation of High-Resolution Bridge Crack Images Using Rendering Technology.






    Dr Weiwei Chen and Honghu Chu receive the ISARC 2024 Best Paper Award

    Our team memebers, Dr Weiwei Chen and Honghu Chu are very honoured to receive the ISARC 2024 Best Paper Award and be invited to give the keynote presentation in the first session. Highly credit to PhD student, Honghu Chu, and Many thanks to Prof Lu Deng for his strong support.

    The paper introduces a novel approach to crack image synthesis using a Generative Adversarial Network framework. This method significantly enhances the accuracy and efficiency of automated crack inspection in engineering structures, contributing to the sustainability and longevity of infrastructure.

    Dr Weiwei Chen said: “Receiving the ISARC 2024 Best Paper Award is an incredible honour. The symposium was an inspiring event, allowing us to share our research and engage with fellow scholars and professionals from various countries. This recognition is a tremendous encouragement for our ongoing work in automated crack segmentation. I would like to extend my deepest thanks to my co-authors, Honghu Chu and Prof. Lu Deng, as well as the ISARC 2024 organising committee. Special thanks to the UCL Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction for their continuous support."






    Dr Weiwei Chen presents at Transport Research Arena (TRA) conference

    With the BSSC conference support fund, Dr Weiwei Chen recently participated at the TRA conference held in Dublin.

    At the conference, Weiwei delivered a presentation titled ‘A Data-driven Finer-grained Spatiotemporal Modelling Method for Pavement Distress Evolution’. Furthermore, serving as a session chair, Weiwei moderated discussions for Technical Session 4.4.2 on Connectivity and Data Exchange. Weiwei also fostered connections with European universities and companies, laying the groundwork for future collaborations. 

    Weiwei said: "I especially extend sincere appreciation to the BSSC conference support fund for giving me this opportunity to participate in the TRA 2024, which allows me to expand my academic horizons, have such good academic exchange opportunities, and establish deeper cooperative ties with European universities and companies in the construction and transport industry."






    Winners of the BSSC Nature Photography Competition announced

    Congratulations to Diran Yu for winning the BSSC Nature Photography Competition! Diran took second place with an image of Battersea Park.






    Diran Yu receive an offer from 2024 Global Research lmmersion Program for Young Scientists (GripS) in Zhejiang University

    To provide young scientists with immersive research experiences, the 2024 GripS program begins a pioneering partnership with four esteemed universities: Zhejiang University, the University of Science and Technology of China, Fudan University, and Nanjing University. Participants will immerse themselves in laboratory work at one of these universities and partake in excursions throughout the scenic Yangtze River Delta region. Diran will go to join the GripS from 17th June to 16th August in Zhejiang University.
