2 RESEARCH INTEREST INFRASTRUCTURE INFORMATICS SUSTAINABILITY Exploration of breakthrough cyber-physical computing concepts that blend high-fidelity deep-learning transportaion informatics and construction management techniques together based on a massive amount of unprecedented spatiotemporal trasportation big data Modeling future highway maintenance costs to support a life-cycle cost analysis for major infrastructure improvement projects Life-cycle assessment of highway rehabiltiation alternatives to assess environmental, economic and social implications GIS-based urban sustainability model to assess the impact of LEED sustainable site credits Economic impact analysis of LEED public transportation accessbility Real options valuation that evaluates the financial impact of energy efficiency retrofit investments INTEGRATED (IMPROVED) PROJECT DELIVERY TRANSPORTATION CM/PM Stochastic modeling and discrete-event simulations of the optimal decision-support models for improved project delivery systems How to balance access, mobility, and livability in planning, constructing and executing multimodal transportation systems in urban and urbanizing areas Assessment of the marginal impacts of critical infrastructure improvement projects Macro- and microeconomic interdepence analysis of schedule-costchange- productivity-risk-quality AS-IS BIM APPLICATIONS CIVIL-INFORMATICS REMOTE SENSOR Use of cloud-based as-built 3D BIM models when executing the construction of large-scale highway rehabiltation projects Wireless SPOT (Small Programmable Object Technology) sensor to monitor the health of overpass bridges impacted by major construction works RESEARCH IMPACT HIGHLIGHT SUSTAINABILITY ISSUES Using a GIS mapping technique and a multivariate regression analysis, developed a sustainability prediction model by examining the inter dependence between LEED Sustainable Site Credits and the appraised unit value of lands in the selected metropolitan areas. Developed a novel framework and tested whether the new approach can reasonably quantify the life-cycle costs of highway rehab projects. Analyzed the economic, environmental, and social impacts of highway pavement rehab alternatives from the life-cycle assessment perspective. As of September 12, 2016 Kunhee (KC) Choi CV...Page 2

3 Created and validated a rigorous theoretical real-options valuation mechanism that evaluates the financial impact of phased investments for energy retrofit projects. CIVIL-INFORMATICS WIRELESS SENSORS Applied wireless SPOT (Small Programmable Object Technology) sensor to monitor urban waste-water runoff. Creating and testing an integrated spatiotemporal modeling framework that significantly advances knowledge in transportation informatics. STOCHASTIC OPTIMAL I/D MODEL INFRASTRUCTURE MODELING TOOL Developed a stochastic optimal decision-support model to aid selection of a solution that (1) helps STAs make better-informed decisions about whether or not to use an incentive/disincentive (I/D) provision and (2) determines the most reliable, realistic I/D amounts. Played a pivotal role in developing, enhancing and validating CA4PRS, a schedule/cost/traffic integrated analysis tool for highway rehabilitation alternatives (developed by UC Berkeley and endorsed by FHWA). Developed a work plan and a feasibility study report of CA4PRS. INNOVATIVE PROJECT DELIVERY SYSTEMS Investigated the likely impact and effectiveness of DBB, DB, and CMR to capture the benefits, costs and risks of these delivery methods and to perform a similar in-depth investigation on the use of I/Ds. Developed an interdisciplinary research program in the area of sustainable infrastructure systems that integrate design and materials, streamlined construction/transportation management strategies, and advanced planning concepts. HIGHWAY REHABILITATION Monitored the overall progress in all major operations on several largescale long-life highway rehabilitation projects in Southern California to collect productivity data and compare actual-to-plan production performance. MULTIFACETED PUBLIC OUTREACH (Cost-Benefit Analysis) Proved that the additional cost of implementing a costly comprehensive outreach program on the I-15 Devore Project can be recouped by the savings achieved from significantly reduced road user costs. LABOR PRODUCTIVITY ASSESSMENT Quantified the macroeconomic performance of the industry as a whole and at fourteen of its sub-sectors in terms of labor productivity and gross margin and sales.

4 TEACHING IMPACT HIGHLIGHT NEW GRADUATE COURSE Developed a new graduate course in Advanced Infrastructure Planning and Management and taught three times at TAMU FORWARD-THINKING TEACHING Integrated graduate teaching with research to lead to tangible academic outcomes, resulting in six conference proceedings in spring 2015 Transformed conventional classroom environment to a fully researchdriven problem-based format to foster students critical interdisciplinary thinking Developed a concept inventory for transportation infrastructure planning and management while concurrently conducting a service-learning realworld community project to actively engage students into classroom discussions. TEACHING FOR HIGH-IMPACT LEARNING Students pose and solve real-world challenging problems by working collaboratively in a group of peers. They are asked to identify gaps in knowledge, write a term project paper under sustained guidance and feedback, and present the results in a prominent conference venue. All class projects and lab sessions are based on real-world construction projects to learn more about state-of-practices and communities. TEACHING PHILOSOPHY Pursuing a problem-centric high-impact learning pedagogy that treasures integrative aspects of construction planning and management and strives to spark student s deep engagement and interdisciplinary critical thinking As of September 12, 2016 Kunhee (KC) Choi CV...Page 4
