Yasser Mohamed is a professor in the Faculty of Engineering, specializing in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Alberta. His research interests primarily focus on modeling construction processes using discrete-event simulation techniques. He has conducted extensive research in modeling tunneling and industrial construction operations, producing reliable models that are employed in testing and optimizing process performance on various real projects. His work includes managing test beds for several researchers, facilitating the applicability of new theories and analytical approaches, such as Bayesian updating techniques, within the construction domain. He completed research involving the application of Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) in construction as part of his PhD work. Currently, his research aims to develop innovative modeling approaches to construction processes, evaluating management practices and predicting the impacts of work conditions on construction performance. Additionally, he is a co-applicant on a CRD grant focused on developing synthetic environments for selected construction processes, using large-scale simulation models that incorporate parallel distributed simulation techniques to detail construction operations.
