Principal Fields of Interest

Public Infrastructure Development; Discrete Decision Support Systems for Choosing Project Delivery Methods at the Portfolio Level.

The emergence of design-build, design-build-operate, and build-operate-transfer as viable project delivery alternatives to design-bid-build; the effects of multiple project delivery choices on architecture, engineering, and construction firms, on public/private finance of infrastructure, and on innovations in engineering and technology; new analytical tools for using project delivery as a variable in the acquisition of systems of infrastructure facilities.
