My methodological approach encompassed systematic literature reviews, quantitative data collection and analysis, and stakeholder engagement through expert interviews and focus group discussions with Construction Industry Development Board partners and facility management professionals. The research outcomes, which received positive peer recognition, were disseminated at international conferences in Singapore and Malaysia. Concurrently, I am appointed as graduate assistant, served as an instructor for delivering curriculum content to second year students of architecture theory courses, construction methods and techniques, and studio courses. This instructional role complemented my research by bridging theoretical knowledge with professional practice applications. Beyond core research activities, I played an instrumental role in academic community-building initiatives, including: Organizing university-level research symposia; Coordinating PhD colloquia; and Conducting workshops on scholarly writing and publication strategies. These experiences cultivated my expertise in energy-performance modeling, stakeholder engagement methodologies, and knowledge translation between academia and industry - skills that continue to inform my current research in sustainable building design optimization.</p>
