Mr. Maximilian Gehring is a distinguished German researcher and doctoral candidate at the Technical University of Darmstadt, specializing in the integration of digital technologies into construction logistics and intelligent infrastructure systems. His academic journey combines industrial engineering and civil engineering expertise with a strong focus on digital transformation, automation, and Building Information Modeling (BIM). Through his ongoing doctoral research, Further development of digital construction logistics: Design of a digital twin framework for automated construction logistics management, Gehring advances the field of smart construction by developing scalable frameworks that enhance data-driven decision-making and operational efficiency. His scholarly contributions include the publication IoT-altimeter in smart pallets for material tracking on multi-storey construction sites, which explores innovative Internet of Things solutions for improving material tracking and site logistics. In ConLogAI – Concept for an AI-enabled platform for construction logistics scheduling, he presents a robust artificial intelligence framework that optimizes scheduling and resource allocation in complex construction environments. His work Unlocking BIM Potential: Empowering Collaboration Through an Open Source-Powered BIM API Platform for Building Lifecycle Management highlights his commitment to open-source collaboration and interoperability in BIM-driven ecosystems. Additionally, his paper Data fusion approach for a digital construction logistics twin underscores his expertise in merging multiple data streams to build comprehensive digital representations of construction processes. Recognized for his academic excellence, Gehring achieved second place in the RKW Competence Centre’s ‘AufITgebaut’ competition for his master’s thesis on construction site logistics optimization. With advanced programming proficiency in Python, C#, and SQL, alongside experience in tools such as Revit, Docker, and Unity, he bridges engineering, computer science, and management to drive innovation in smart construction and digital infrastructure systems.
