About Me

Hi! I'm Shuaiwen Cui, a 3rd-year Ph.D. student in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. I am supervised by Asst. Prof Yuguang Fu, head of the Laboratory for Intelligent Infrastructure Technology (LIFT) at NTU. My research interests include Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Digital Twin (DT), Robotic Inspection & Construction, and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM).

To be short, as a civil engineer, I have strong passion for the digitalization and automatization technologies in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. Apart from civil engineer, I also recognize myself as a maker, who has a strong passion for DIY and crafting.
