Roman Vlasov
Editor-in-Chief
Roman Vlasov
Roman Vlasov is an internationally experienced construction manager, engineering innovator, and author whose professional career spans more than 15 years in complex construction and infrastructure development. He has led and delivered over 300 realized projects, including large commercial facilities, nationwide retail programs, and high-rise residential buildings up to 17 stories, operating across multiple regions and regulatory environments. He is the author of six professional books and technical manuals, eight peer-reviewed scientific articles, and eleven professionally reviewed industry publications, addressing construction management, structural diagnostics, smart infrastructure, digital twins, and adaptive project-management methodologies. His work has been published in ISSN-registered journals and recognized professional platforms and has contributed to the dissemination of applied engineering knowledge within the construction and infrastructure sector. He actively collaborates with professional and trade media, providing expert commentary and analytical materials on construction technologies and intelligent infrastructure systems. Roman Vlasov is the creator of ArchiSense, a proprietary real-time structural monitoring and digital-twin system designed for early-warning diagnostics, predictive analysis, and long-term performance assessment of buildings and infrastructure. The system integrates custom sensors, data-processing methodologies, and digital modeling tools and has been implemented and piloted in commercial buildings, residential developments, smart-city initiatives, and infrastructure facilities. Its technical value and practical applicability have been independently evaluated by engineering professionals in the United States and internationally. As Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Smart World Journal, Roman Vlasov defines the journal’s editorial vision, academic standards, and peer-review methodology, coordinating international contributors and reviewers. His editorial work focuses on bridging applied engineering practice, technological innovation, and scholarly research to advance intelligent, data-driven solutions for the global built environment.
