Building Smarter Concrete Foundations - Episode 79 | Djelal Osman - Live @ Digital Construction Week 25
Concrete forms the literal and figurative foundation of the built environment, yet its role is often overlooked in conversations about innovation. As pressure grows across the construction industry to deliver projects more sustainably and with greater resilience, the systems surrounding this material are beginning to shift.
Digitalisation is no longer confined to design software or post-completion analysis. It’s reaching deeper into the materials, methods, and real-time processes that shape how buildings and infrastructure come to life. At the same time, clients and contractors are increasingly looking for smarter, more connected ways to plan, monitor and optimise across the entire project lifecycle. It’s time to cure this conundrum with someone who has solid knowledge in this area (sorry, not sorry for the concrete gags)!
Dr Djelal Osman's work is shaped by his extensive experience in both fundamental physics and applied artificial intelligence. Currently an Algorithms Engineer at Converge, he operates at the intersection of technology and sustainability, developing AI and machine learning models to reduce the carbon footprint of the construction sector, focusing particularly on optimising concrete mix designs and usage to minimise embodied carbon.
Prior to this role, Djelal co-founded an augmented reality startup, Sention, creating novel computer vision algorithms. His academic foundation includes a PhD in Physics from the Quantum Sensors Group at the University of Cambridge, where his research focused on the physics of low-temperature imaging detectors used in orbital space telescopes.
What we cover in this live episode:
- Digital tools streamlining the management of concrete
- Continually improving sensor technology for concrete monitoring.
- How AI is transforming traditional concrete construction practices
- The benefits of using data for efficiency and sustainability
- Where do you think Construction Technology will be in 10 years?
