Carl Haas accepted as 2022 New RSC Fellow

Carl Haas has contributed seminal new knowledge in the principles behind, the inter-dependencies among and the circular economic applications of computer vision, mixed reality, building information modelling and human-robotic-systems. Key barriers in the way of moving toward a circular economy in the built environment include the scale, complexity, and uncertainty associated with constructing, maintaining and deconstructing our built environment. His contributions improve complex, built environment systems’ performance.
