For more than 20 years, Prof. Li has been working towards a new generation smart engineering computing platform in support of holistic decision making through working across different areas, including civil and hydraulic engineering – water and environment issues; structural engineering, onsite construction and project management; infrastructure – road, bridge, maritime and dam – structural design & analysis; building services and facility (asset) management – smart energy in buildings, district and cities; water distribution and urban water management, sustainability, resilience and disaster management for cities and the built environment. These experiences enable him to develop inter-disciplinary oriented research, underpinned by High Performance Computing (HPC & Cloud Computing), inter-linked domain knowledge (Ontology Modelling), Artificial Intelligence algorithms and BIM (Building Information Modelling) 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 built environment.

Prof. Li's research mainly covers three areas -
(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 publications (journal / conference papers, books/chapters etc.), 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, agreement in principle signed) from China Communications Construction Company (CCCC, ranked No. 91 in Fortune 500) to support BIM and Smart Engineering related research projects. 

International Impact - Prof. Li is the Associate Editor for the Journal of Automation in Construction (Elsevier Publishing, impact factor: 4.332); the Editor for the Journal of Construction Innovation (ESCI, EI). He serves as editorial board members for other three 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 for EG-ICE: European Group of Intelligent Computing in Engineering, which is a highly established and regarded 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 (https://www.buildingsmart.org/ifc-maritime-project/, accessed on 23rd January 2019). In China, Prof. Li serves as a guest BIM scientist for China State Construction Engineering Group (CSCEG, ranked No.23 in Fortune 500 in 2017) & China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), playing an influential role there helping China to transform their construction industry (https://pcsg.co.uk/2018/07/02/5118/, accessed on 23rd January 2019). 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.

Prof. Haijiang Li has been playing the leading role for promoting BIM teaching & training in Cardiff since 2006.

MSc Programme - BIM for Smart Engineering
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)
Dissertation (Civil, Structural, Geo-environmental, Water) (ENT509)

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. 

Since 2006 till now (2019), more than 40 Year-3 project students and 30+ MSc students working on BIM topics (supervised by Prof. Li), and several hundreds to thousands of BEng / MEng / MSc students have acquired BIM knowledge and graduated from Cardiff.

In 2012, Prof. Li won the award of Engineering School Strategic Fund for teaching and built up a first-class BIM and VR (Virtual Reality) computing research laboratory, which has been fully utilized to support school wide BIM teaching and research. The BIM teaching has also been opened to the students from School of City Planning and Architecture School, and the BIM module (ENT768 & EN4308) has become one of the most popular modules and the student number has increased significantly year by year.

In 2015, Prof. Li was awarded with an EU Erasmus project (European Community Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students, BIM4VET as PI). The project enables Cardiff to lead Pan-European BIM curriculum development and quality control activities, which are extremely strategic.

In 2016, Prof. Li secured the second phase of ENGIN Strategic Funding to further upgrade the BIM and VR lab, new exciting equipment have been purchased and currently function well for teaching and research tasks.

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.
