Dr Cris is a Research Associate dedicated to developing a novel pavement construction framework. His research engages cutting edge transformative technologies and have developed frameworks for critical infrastructures. This research was funded by the Australian Research Council. The research seeks to transform the road structures to be smart, low cost, long lasting, safe, green and adaptable to future transport demands. His research focusses on the development of a framework for critical transport infrastructure using advanced information modeling in a smart city environment. The research aims to develop a construction 4.0 model targeting the pre-construction, construction, and post-construction aspects of the critical transport infrastructures life cycle, with the goal of improving overall costs, efficiency of the construction process, and ongoing quality assurance.
