Dr. Taylor specializes in the investigation of project network dynamics in the global architecture, engineering and construction industry. His current research focuses on the trending increase in global outsourcing of complex engineering services, developing collaboration tools and enabling practices to support collaborative work in global virtual teams, and the impact of integrated technologies on global project networks. Through a combination of in-depth field research, lab experimentation, and computational simulation modeling Dr. Taylor and his research team develop practical organizational change strategies and technologies while extending theories of project networks.
Dr. Taylor is Director of the Project Network Dynamics Lab located in the Robert A. W. Carleton Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics Laboratory. He is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Construction Research Council, the Construction Industry Institute Globalization Community of Practice, the American Society for Engineering Education, the Academy of Management (Technology and Innovation Management Division), and the Editorial Board of the Journal of Construction Engineering and Management.
