Liu, Y.

Profile

Currently, I am a researcher at the section Infrastructure Design and Management of Delft University of Technology. My research project focuses on learning and knowledge management, inter-organizational collaboration, digital innovation in large infrastructure projects. I lecture in Construction Management and Engineering Master and Project Management: from Nano to Mega Minor courses, supervising master theses and internships. I was a visiting PhD at the Bartlett School of Construction and Project Management, UCL.

Research

My research aims to stimulate discussions and further debate about learning at the project level to identify and implement capabilities and structures that enable more efficient learning within and between projects. I have investigated three case studies, including the MultiWaterWork Program and the Gaasperdammer Tunnel project in the Netherlands and Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge in China. The research results have been published in journals, e.g., International Journal of Project Management.

I lecture in:

  • Collaborative Design and Engineering
  • Dynamic Control of Projects in Construction Management and Engineering Master program and Fit-for-purpose Project Management
  • Integration: technical project in Project Management: from Nano to Mega Minor program
