Dr. Wenchi Shou
School of Engineering, Design and Built Environment, Western Sydney University, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Dr. Wenchi Shou is a Senior Lecturer and Ph.D. Supervisor at Western Sydney University. She is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Building Design and Environment (JBDE). Her research focuses on advancing the digital transformation of the construction industry, promoting low-carbon prefabricated construction, and achieving the deep integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) with industrialized construction. She is committed to developing construction models that support sustainable development.
Dr. Shou has published 50 SCI/SSCI-indexed journal papers and 21 international conference papers. Her work has been cited over 3,400 times on Google Scholar, with an H-index of 25. She has received six international Best Paper Awards, including two Best Journal Paper Awards (International Journal of Production Research, 2016; Frontiers of Engineering Management, 2023) and one ESI Highly Cited Paper. She has led and contributed to nine major research projects, including two funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC), two by the Department of Industry’s Innovation Fund, one under the CSIRO Emerging Technologies Postgraduate Program, and four projects supported by the Sustainable Built Environment National Research Centre (SBEnrc). These experiences reflect her extensive expertise in interdisciplinary research and industry–academia collaboration.
In teaching, Dr. Shou serves as the Academic Program Advisor for the Bachelor of Construction Management at Western Sydney University, taking overall responsibility for one of the largest undergraduate construction management programs in Australia, which enrolls over 2,000 students. In recognition of her outstanding contributions to curriculum development and student mentoring, she was awarded the 2024 Western Sydney University Award for Excellence in Teaching.
Introduction
The construction industry internet utilizes next-generation information technologies to collect, aggregate, and analyze comprehensive element information across the construction industry chain. It optimizes the allocation of all elements within the construction sector, promotes the coordinated development of the entire industry chain, and drives high-quality growth in the construction industry. As a link connecting all parties in the industry chain, the construction industry internet platform plays a crucial role in facilitating information sharing, optimizing resource allocation, and enhancing collaborative efficiency. However, due to the complexity of the construction industry and the diversity of its participants, data credibility and effective utilization have become key challenges for the platform's development.
The “Research on Performance Optimization of High-Speed Communication Base Stations for the Construction Industry Internet Based on Landlink” is a key technology in engineering dataset delivery. It provides high-quality data transmission for the construction industry internet, supporting the study of key technologies for integrated dataset delivery in the construction industry internet under Sub-Objective 1 of the project. It plays a significant role in large-scale wireless network deployments in complex environments, such as personnel positioning, voice, video, and data roaming applications. This innovative wireless networking technology can provide dedicated wireless links for high backhaul traffic, low-latency exchanges, and non-cellular client coverage. It employs modular, multi-frequency, multi-channel, and multi-radio innovative approaches. It features flexible deployment, strong scalability, integrated wired and wireless capabilities, self-management, intelligent healing, and is future-oriented for the Internet of Things (IoT), compatible with various IoT standard protocols such as 802.11ac (MIMO) or Ultra-Wideband (UWB). Within the research module on key technologies for integrated delivery in the construction industry internet, the project aims to conduct research from the perspectives of new technologies and products. It is expected that through this project, the second-generation Landlink technology will be developed, increasing the bandwidth of the first-generation communication base stations from 200M to 800M, enhancing network transmission distance, improving network anti-interference capabilities and stability. Additionally, industry application demonstrations will be carried out, applying Landlink technology in construction projects to provide high-quality network infrastructure for the construction industry internet.
