Dr. Shuva Chowdhury
Funded Masters and PhD opportunities in the convergence field of Architecture, Digital Twin and Digital Fabrication at NCAT.
The research topics mostly look at the alternatives to develop design thinking based strategies using advanced computational tools and methods towards dealing issues like climate change, affordable housing, re-materializing construction in the context of architectural and urban design.
Research Area
The research can align with any specific topic or on any convergence one:
- Metaverse in Co-Design (in the context of architecture or urban design).
- Urban Analytic and User-Feedback Interface
- Cyber-Human Interaction in Robotic Construction at Affordable Housing Context
- Developing Digital Twin Modelling Pipeline as AEC Applications
- Measuring Cognitive Load in Virtual and Human Spatial Remote Design Collaboration
- Computational Design Thinking Process on Sustainable Design and Construction
- Mixed-Reality Application on Data Visualization and Decision Making on Net
Zero Housing Design and Retrofitting. - Using Machine Learning or Al through Digital Twin Model on Off-site Housing Construction/Production
- Digital Twin and Metaverse Education in Cleantech Based Architectural Design
- GeoAl and Immersive Visualization Towards Participatory Decision-Making
Qualifications
The potential applicants ideally should have architecture or closely related background or willing to investigate in architectural technology research, and should have understanding or would be better to have competency on software like Grasshopper, Unity, Unreal Engine and coding skills in C# and Python.
