BRIEF BIOGRAPHY
Professor Teizer has been working in construction engineering and management, transportation, automation and emerging sensing technology systems since 1997. Dr. Teizer has recently joined the faculty at the Georgia Institute of Technology as an Assistant Professor. He has received been actively working at the University of Karlsruhe, Texas A&M University, and The University of Texas at Austin in an ongoing NSF research project. This effort is developing an obstacle avoidance system using emerging three-dimensional video range imaging cameras to detect and track static and moving objects in the field of view of heavy equipment operators to reduce the likelihood of fatalities and accidents.
Dr. Teizer has performed joint research collaboration with and visited the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the summers 2004 and 2005. In addition, Dr. Teizer is currently building his Real-time Automated Project Information Decision Systems (RAPIDS) Laboratory. The RAPIDS laboratory will be a unique facility in the United States that focuses on developing and applying innovative technologies and methods improving the construction and transportation performance.
Prior to joining Georgia Tech, Dr. Teizer completed his dissertation research on the real-time range data acquisition and processing and was a member of the Breakthrough Strategy Committee of the Construction Industry Institute (CII). Dr. Teizer is an active member in the Geospatial Data Acquisition Technologies in Design and Construction Committee of the Transportation Research Board (AFB80).
Dr. Teizer is currently working on intensifying a US-German student exchange program between Georgia Tech and a corresponding German research university sponsored by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
