BSCI PhD Student Wins ICCCBE Awards

Fasoyinu received both Best Student Paper and Best Presentation awards at this year’s event, which was held in Montreal, Canada.

The ICCCBE is a bi-annually run conference series focusing on information technology in civil and building engineering. The conference provides a unique opportunity for professionals, researchers and students interested in computing in a wide range of civil and building engineering disciplines to come together under the auspices of the International Society for Computing in Civil and Building Engineering (ISCCBE).

Fasoyinu’s winning entry was entitled “Implementation of Wearable Technologies for Enhancing Safety Monitoring in Construction Jobsites: A Trend Analysis.” The paper will also be published in a future issue of the ISCCBE’s professional journal.

The ICCCBE conference is one of the most esteemed events in the fields of automation and construction,” noted Dr. Salman Azhar, William A. Hunt Endowed Professor and Graduate Programs Chair in Building Construction. “Fasoyinu, who is in his second year of the PhD program, is working under the supervision of Dr. Anoop Sattineni.”

“As an international student from a humble background and a first-generation scholar,” said Fasoyinu, a native of Ondo, Nigeria, “this honor is only possible because of the incredible support I’ve received from the McWhorter School of Building Science and the College of Architecture, Design and Construction.

“This achievement proves that even starting from a small town in a developing country should never limit one’s potential. No matter where one comes from, the possibilities are endless, and the only boundaries are the ones we set for ourselves.”
