Research & Publications

Generative AI, Digital Twins & Academic Service

PhD Researcher — Université de Liège (ULiège)

My research sits at the intersection of Generative AI and Digital Twins, focusing on how generative models can reconstruct, complete, and reason over incomplete spatial and semantic data in urban infrastructure. Alongside publishing, I serve the research community as a peer reviewer for IEEE journals.

Generative Artificial Intelligence for Underground Utility Digital Twins: A Review and Task-Oriented Framework

Co-authored with researchers from the American University of the Middle East and the University of Liège

Reviews how Generative AI — GANs, VAEs, diffusion models, LLMs, and multimodal architectures — can address data incompleteness, geometric uncertainty, and semantic fragmentation in Underground Utility Digital Twins. The paper proposes a task-oriented framework and a closed-loop architecture for generative-enhanced digital twins in smart cities.
