Research Areas -
For more than 20 years, Prof. HaiJiang Li has been working towards a new generation smart computational engineering platform underpinned by super power computing, big data and machine learning, inter-linked domain knowledge, artificial intelligence algorithms and BIM based standardization across sectors throughout project life cycle, to support large scale engineering data / information / knowledge processing, smart engineering optimization and holistic decision making to help to achieve sustainable and resilient infrastructure system and built environment.
He has been intensively working in civil, hydraulic and maritime engineering, structural engineering, onsite construction, project and facility management through digital twinning along with smart design, modelling, analysis, simulation, reasoning and optimization in support of smart energy in buildings, district and cities; water distribution and urban water management; sustainable and resilient cities and built environment development; and real time emergency response and management.
Research Focuses -
(1) Fundamental life cycle BIM data, information and knowledge processing
(2) Large scale smart engineering computing, data analytics and optimization
(3) Knowledge based and artificial intelligence supported holistic decision making
Funding and Team: Prof. Li has secured significant research funds from UK, EU and China, as a Principle / Co-Investigator, the total project value is about £40M (£7M as PI, funding sources include EPSRC, NERC, EU FP7/H2020, and National Natural Science Foundation of China - NSFC, China National 973 project, China National Grand Plan 2016 Green Construction - total value: ¥105M). He has published more than 140 papers, leading a BIM team consisting of 45+ RAs / PhDs in total since 2006, and a top-class BIM & VR (Virtual Reality) laboratory. Prof. Li has recently secured more than £1.1M industry investment (2018-2023) from China Communications Construction Company to support BIM and Smart Engineering related research projects.
International Impact - Prof. Li is an Associate Editor for the Journal of Automation in Construction (IF - 5.669; 3/134 - Civil Engineering; CiteScore 9.5; Q1 top 10%); the Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Construction Innovation (ESCI - 8/126 Architecture; CiteScore 3.9; Q1 top 10% ). He serves as editorial board members for several other international journals; reviewers for EPSRC, NSERC (Canada) and 40+ international journals and conferences (as scientific committees / chairs); delivered 50+ invited / keynote speeches in UK, EU, China and USA. He is a Fellow of British Computer Society, member of EPSRC Associate Peer Review College; visiting Professor for several universities in China; actively engaged with most of the major international communities on BIM and ICT in AEC domain, e.g. EG-ICE, ICCCBE, CIBW78, ECPPM and ASCE. He has been leading/participating UK, EU FP7 / H2020 and China research projects intensively and created a significant international base for academic and industry collaboration; he is the secretary committee member for EG-ICE: European Group of Intelligent Computing in Engineering, which is a highly established international academic association in BIM and intelligent computing area.
International BIM standards & policy - Prof. Li has been working with open BIM buildingSMART since 2010, serving first as a committee member of BuildingSMART UK technical group, together with BRE (Building Research Establishment), advising the UK government on their BIM policy making and industry implementation agenda; and now as a Standards Committee Technical Executive (SCTE) – buildingSMART international, overseeing international open BIM standards developments and personally leading IFC Ports & Waterways standards development project. In China, Prof. Li serves as a guest BIM scientist for China State Construction Engineering Group & China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), playing an influential role there helping China to transform their construction industry. A new BIM policy book has just been published in 2019 - "CHINA, USA & UK BIM STANDARDS AND POLICY" (China Construction Industry Publisher, sponsored by China national 13th 5-Year Plan) to comprehensively introduce and compare the BIM standards and policies in China, USA and UK.

Teaching
Prof. Haijiang Li has been playing the leading role for promoting BIM research, teaching & training in Cardiff since 2006.
BIM has been enabling a revolutionary way of working for the worldwide construction industry since it was first coined in 2003 in USA. It now triggers a worldwide tipping point to completely transform the oldest while still with the lowest productivity construction industry. At present, there are urgent demands for BIM graduates at all levels from UK & worldwide AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) industry.
In 2018, the new MSc programme - BIM for Smart Engineering has opened to welcome MSc students all over the world who are interested in BIM in Engineering, and the programme has put Cardiff into the front tier for BIM training and education in UK and worldwide.
Module Leader for three BIM core modules:
BIM Computing and Information Processing (ENT516)
Building and Infrastructure Information Modelling (ENT768)
Building and Infrastructure Information Modelling (EN4308)
Other modules involved:
Integrated Building/Infrastructure Design (ENT510 & EN4102)
Engineering Case Study (ENT725)
