WoonSeong Jeong | Information Technology using BIM | Best Researcher Award Published on 15/09/202515/09/2025 by Civil Engineering WoonSeong Jeong | Information Technology using BIM | Best Researcher Award Associate Professor | Chungbuk National University | South Korea WoonSeong Jeong is an accomplished researcher and academic in the field of architectural engineering, specializing in Building Information Modeling (BIM), object-oriented physical modeling, building energy simulation, and digital twin frameworks for construction and operation. His work integrates computational methods with sustainable design practices, bridging BIM technologies with multi-domain performance analysis to advance construction management, thermal simulations, and off-site construction processes. His research portfolio includes several major projects funded by the National Research Foundation of Korea, focusing on immersive BIM-based off-site construction simulations, digital twin model development, and intelligent operation management frameworks. Earlier contributions include collaborative projects supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers, and the U.S. Department of Energy, where he explored applications of BIM in solar building design, nuclear plant cooling systems, and thermal compliance testing. Jeong’s publications in international journals such as Applied Sciences, Sustainability, Advances in Civil Engineering, and Automation in Construction demonstrate his expertise in developing automated frameworks for translating sketches and spatial data into BIM environments, enhancing efficiency in performance analysis, and optimizing construction operations. His conference presentations span global platforms, where he introduced innovative methods for lean production management, energy performance visualization, and parametric modeling. Recognized with awards including the Charles M. Eastman Top PhD Paper Award, fellowships, and scholarships from professional bodies such as the International Facility Management Association and Texas A&M University, Jeong has consistently contributed to advancing knowledge in digital construction and sustainable architectural engineering. Alongside journal articles, he has co-authored books and technical reports on BIM integration, parametric modeling, and lifecycle cost analysis, further strengthening his role as a thought leader in the digital transformation of construction and building performance research. His membership in professional associations such as IFMA, ACADIA, and KSEA reflects his active engagement in global research communities.
