Assistant Professor at Georgia Southern University teaches Construction Management courses at junior and senior level in the Civil Engineering and Construction Management department. His research experience includes development of computer syntaxes to unequivocally describe construction activities and development of a consistent methodology to explicitly classify and quantify construction methods (emerging taxonomy of construction methods). Marcel's main expertise is in computer modeling of construction processes. His doctoral work allows the profiling of each journeyman's affinity for productivity, quality and safety. By analyzing the behavior of framers from various industry companies, he found that safety is held at the same level of importance as productivity. He is also interested in educational contributions and research opportunities towards integrating field-level construction knowledge in BIM models and exploring their benefits in classroom environment with feedback from jobsite project managers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
