About

Mohamad Shaharudin Samsurijan is an emerging researcher whose work sits at the intersection of construction technology, automation, and sustainable development, with a particular focus on advancing robotics and automation systems within developing-country contexts. His research critically examines the transformative potential of emerging technologies in the construction industry, using the Nigerian construction sector as a compelling case study to draw broader lessons applicable across the Global South. His most cited work, "Robotics and automation for sustainable construction: microscoping the barriers to implementation" (2023, 36 citations), provides a rigorous scoping literature review that identifies the systemic challenges hindering the adoption of robotics and automation in developing nations. Complementing this, his second highly cited study (2023, 14 citations) employs an innovative mixed-method approach grounded in pragmatic philosophical thinking to evaluate actionable strategies for accelerating automation adoption in construction. Together, these contributions have attracted over 50 citations within a remarkably short period, signaling strong academic interest and real-world relevance. Samsurijan's research offers valuable guidance for policymakers, industry practitioners, and academics seeking to bridge the technology adoption gap in construction sectors across developing economies.
