Research summary
AI-generated

Jiansong Zhang's work centers on applying digital technologies, especially Building Information Modeling (BIM) and artificial intelligence, to construction and infrastructure projects. Core topics include automated building code checking, reconstructing bridge models from 2D drawings, monitoring infrastructure condition, and using AI (including large language models and chatbots) to support construction decision-making and worker safety. Note that the publication list includes many titles on unrelated topics (e.g., biology, chemistry, aerospace), which likely reflects noisy bibliographic matching rather than this researcher's actual scope.
