Saddiq Ur Rehman

PhD Student | Department of Architecture | Kyung Hee University

I am a PhD Candidate in the ITA Lab under the supervision of Professor Inhan Kim at the Department of Architecture at Kyung Hee University, South Korea. I earned his Bachelor degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Engineering and Technology Peshawar. However, driven by a keen interest in the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in architecture and design, I transitioned to the field of architecture.

My research focuses on leveraging BIM, Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA), AI, Extended reality, and Game Engines to optimize construction automation, decision support systems, and digital workflows. By integrating machine learning, NLP, and real-time simulations, I aim to bridge the gap between research and industry applications in modular construction and smart building technologies.
