DESCRIPTION:Prof. Daniel Hall\n10:45 – 11:30 – Prof. Daniel Hall\nAssi
 stant Professor at ETH\, Zürich\n\nBlockchain Governance of the Cyber-Phy
 sical Built Environment\n\nBlockchain provides an opportunity to integrate
  digital information\, incentive systems\, and smart contracts to better g
 overn the future cyber-physical built environment. This talk will explain 
 how blockchain can enable new forms of governance for the construction ind
 ustry through direct peer-to-peer transactions of value across a distribut
 ed network\, using immutable and transparent record-keeping of these trans
 actions. First\, I will give a basic overview of blockchain and distribute
 d ledger technologies. Second\, I will describe the reasons why applicatio
 n of blockchain has high relevance to the construction and management of b
 uildings and infrastructure. Third\, I will introduce seven different use 
 case categories for implementation of blockchain in construction and a ver
 y short overview of our proposed decision framework for blockchain design.
  Fourth\, I will describe two completed use case implementations from our 
 research: Incentivizing high-quality data sets for building information mo
 delling (BIM) and smart performance-based contracts using digital twins. F
 inally\, I will describe our ongoing research including the use of blockch
 ain-based material passports and self-governing decentralized autonomous s
 pace. Overall\, the objective of this talk is to inspire future civil engi
 neers and other stakeholders in the built environment to begin their own s
 tructured thinking about how to combine the technological properties of bl
 ockchain with the implementation of specific use cases in the built enviro
 nment.\n\nShort bio:\nDaniel Hall is Assistant Professor of Innovative and
  Industrial Construction at the Department of Civil\, Environmental and Ge
 omatic Engineering of ETH Zürich. The overarching theme of his research i
 s to enhance governance\, productivity\, and innovation in the built envir
 onment through supply chain integration and industrialization. His work fi
 nds that in order to foster more innovation in products and processes\, th
 e construction industry must embrace new digital technologies\, process st
 rategies and governance models.\n\nHis primary research areas are Industri
 alized Construction and Decentralized\, Autonomous Systems in Construction
 . Topics within these areas include Blockchain in Construction\, Industry 
 4.0\, Integrated Project Delivery\, Digital Fabrication\, Circular Industr
 ialized Construction\, Adoption of Systemic Innovations\, and Entrepreneur
 ship in Civil Engineering.\n\nDaniel holds a Doctor of Philosophy (2017)
  in Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) from Stanford University. He
  also holds a Master of Science (2014) in Civil and Environmental Engineer
 ing with an emphasis in Sustainable Design and Construction from Stanford 
 University and a Bachelor of Science (2008) in Architectural Engineering 
 from the College of Architecture and Environmental Design at California Po
 lytechnic State University San Luis Obispo. He is founder and organizer of
  the Stanford Industrialized Construction Forum since 2014. Daniel serves 
 on several international steering committees such as the Construction Bloc
 kchain Consortium\, the European Conference for Computing in Construction\
 , and the International Association for Automation and Robotics in Constru
 ction.\n
