About me
Dr Salwa Mohd Ishak is a Senior Lecturer in the UniSA STEM at the University of South Australia. She received a Ph.D. degree in Built Environment (Construction Project Management) from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Australia, an MSc. Construction Management from the University of Reading (UoR) U.K. and a BSc. Hons from the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). Prior to joining the School of NBE, she was a Lecturer in Construction Management and Project Management at Universiti Sains Malaysia from 2014, a Research Assistant and a Tutor at UNSW (2011-2014). Before devoting her life full time to Ph.D., Salwa worked in the construction industry and has a number of years of experience overseeing all phases of million-dollar construction projects including infrastructure, commercial and residential. Although, Salwa has a solid background in areas of construction management and project management, her principal area of interest as well as recent research has been in the field of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and digital technology adoption in the smart built environment. She also has an interest in the unconventional project management and social sides of technology, such as agile project management, social networks, innovation diffusion, adoption, and the intersection of machine learning and human-computer interaction.
More about Salwa: I'm a wife and a mother. I'm the source and force of the happiness of James and Ryan. Forever will be a mystery to me. I'm an educator and a curious researcher. I love teaching and have a huge passion for research. Positive, ambitious and have set a clear career trajectory.
