Dr Xiang Xie joined the School of Engineering as the Newcastle University Academic Track (NUAcT) fellow in October 2022. Before that, I worked as a Research Associate at the Department of Engineering, the Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction (CSIC), and the Centre for Digital Built Britain (CDBB) from 2018 to 2022. I received my PhD degree in Control Science and Engineering from Zhejiang University in 2018.

My research focuses on data-centric and energy-oriented asset management for building and urban infrastructure. I am interested in applying machine learning, knowledge graph, digital twin, and human-machine interaction technologies to facilitate the digital transformation of built assets, contributing to the lifecycle analysis and decarbonisation of the building and construction sector. I have published more than 30 peer-reviewed papers in international journals and conferences in this area. My work has received Charles Manby Prize by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) in 2024.

I received the Built Environment Fellowship from the 1851 Royal Commission in 2023, and successfully secured multiple fundings from the Royal Society, EPSRC, Innovate UK and Horizon Europe as PI and Co-I.
