Smart Infrastructure & GIS Management with AI Lab
Artificial intelligence for safe and sustainable urban infrastructure
Recognised under Decision 1053/QĐ-TĐHTPHCM dated 23 July 2026
Who we are
To grow into a strong research group that develops interdisciplinary machine and deep learning methods for identifying, predicting and managing geotechnical and urban infrastructure risk on GIS and BIM foundations, and that delivers internationally competitive models, tools and technology products linked to education and technology transfer for smart, sustainable cities.
Interdisciplinary application of artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning to geotechnical engineering, urban infrastructure management, project management and geographic information systems. Machine and deep learning is the core method across every project of the group.
Scientific focus
The four directions share machine learning and deep learning as their core method, connecting below-ground geotechnical data with above-ground infrastructure and project management data.

Activities
SIGMA Lab announces four core research directions linking below-ground geotechnical data with above-ground infrastructure and project management data on a single GIS and BIM platform.
The Rector of Ho Chi Minh City University of Natural Resources and Environment signed Decision No. 1053/QD-TDHTPHCM dated 23 July 2026 recognising the SIGMA Research Group for a three-year term.
Mr. Tran Vu Van Hoa co-authored two papers presented at The International Conference on Business and Technology (ICBT Oxford 2024) held at the University of Oxford, United Kingdom.
The group welcomes collaboration with government departments, consulting and construction firms, research institutes and international research groups on data collection, joint publication, graduate training and technology transfer.
