The School of Construction Management Technology at Purdue Polytechnic is pleased to welcome Jiabin Wu as a visiting scholar in the Automation and Intelligent Construction (AutoIC) Lab, hosted by Professor Jiansong Zhang.
Wu arrives from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), where he has conducted research under Professor André Borrmann through the Chair of Computing in Civil and Building Engineering and the Georg Nemetschek Institute. His work focuses on automated design compliance and model enrichment in Building Information Modeling (BIM)—including a process known as Design Healing, which automatically adjusts non-compliant designs to meet building code requirements.
At TUM, Wu also developed IFC-based semantic enrichment techniques for efficient BIM model reuse and contributed to automated assessment strategies in BIM instruction for large cohorts of students. His arrival at Purdue marks an expansion of collaboration between TUM and Purdue Polytechnic and signals further innovation in construction automation.
During his time in the AutoIC Lab, Wu will contribute to research advancing intelligent construction methods, while engaging in academic exchange across disciplines.
