Mahdaviparsa, Akram (Mina)

Mina studied the application of technology to reduce the time and cost of water damage restoration projects after disasters. To recover and restore buildings with water damage, a systematic restoration strategy with an automatic moisture mapping process is proposed using a thermal 3D laser scanner, BIM-GIS, and IoT.
