I am a University Instructor and Ph.D. candidate at the Faculty of Built Environment, Tampere University, Finland. My experience and research interests are in construction project management processes and in related digital technologies and education. My Ph.D. thesis topic is competence development through continuous professional learning in construction management in the era of fast paced digitalisation. I graduated with a Master of Science in Engineering degree from Tampere University of Technology, Finland in 2005. I have a long career in construction management education in Finland and in New Zealand. Alongside my senior lecturer role in New Zealand, I worked at the national level as a chair and member of the BIM Education NZ group and as a member of the BIM Acceleration Committee to assist the industry in adopting and implementing Building Information Modelling and to integrate BIM as part of Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) education. In my role at Tampere University, Finland I am continuing this work through my teaching work and my involvement in the BIM-enabled Learning Environment for Digital Construction (BENEDICT) project. The project is aimed at leveraging the emerging possibilities of BIM to enhance the education of REC professionals by developing an innovative, BIM-enabled Learning Environment which offers more realistic, immersive and integrated learning experiences.
