Daniel Castro-Lacouture works in construction engineering and management, focusing on how digital tools like Building Information Modeling (BIM), machine learning, and simulation can improve building design, construction safety, and supply-chain coordination. His work spans topics such as clash detection in BIM (resolving conflicts between building system designs), construction worker safety monitoring, prefabricated construction logistics, and sustainable or energy-efficient building practices. Prospective students would likely work on applied, data-driven approaches to solving practical problems in the construction industry.
