He has been involved as a principal investigator (PI) and co-investigator in research projects (valued at over £1.8 million) funded by several organisations. He led (as PI) an international consortium in an EPSRC-funded research to develop the first web-based application for assessing design for safety organisational capability, which won an innovation award from HS2 Ltd. He has over 110 publications to his credit.

Shang Gao is Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning, University of Melbourne. Dr Gao has expertise in construction management, with a focus on lean construction, safety management, modern methods of construction and digital construction. He has produced over 40 publications, including the book Lean Construction Management - the Toyota Way, which is the first book ever published to address the Toyota Way practices in the construction industry to achieve lean construction management. He has also served as a consultant to many large construction firms in China and Singapore.

Valerie Francis is Professor in Construction Management and Chair in Construction within the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning at the University of Melbourne. Educated as a civil engineer, she has over ten years' experience in commercial, industrial and domestic construction as a senior structural engineer and project manager. Francis's research has investigated issues affecting construction productivity, procurement, technology adoption, employee satisfaction, construction education, work-life balance and gender equity. Her research has resulted in the publication of a wide number of industry reports and papers in top-tier international journals as well as local Australian journals. She is a recognised expert in the field of work-life balance in the construction. Her study on professional women's career progression is the largest study of its nature worldwide and resulted in the development of a career typology for professional women.
