Developing a pavement condition assessment method for unpaved roads using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). (2025)
Journal Article

Approximately 95% of the total road network in Uganda is unpaved, and this heavy reliance on unpaved roads is predominant in most developing countries in the world. Consistent monitoring and evaluation of the condition of these unpaved roads is cruci...

Thermal Imaging in Building Diagnostics: A Systematic Review of Applications, Challenges, and Opportunities (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Thermal imaging, or infrared thermography, has become an indispensable tool in the building sector for non-invasive energy efficiency assessments, particularly for detecting heat loss, thermal bridging, and insulation defects. This paper presents a s... Read More about Thermal Imaging in Building Diagnostics: A Systematic Review of Applications, Challenges, and Opportunities.

A systematic quality evaluation of public participation in Environmental Impact Statements (EIS): Reflecting on practice in Nigeria (2025)
Journal Article

Infrastructure development is vital for economic growth but often leads to negative environmental, social, and public health impacts. The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), produced during the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process, is crit...
