Information exchange

Dr Guoqian was a former architect working in ECADI, Shanghai and now he is working on BIM-related research. His main research domain includes the information exchange at project and procurement level; ontology-based knowledge representation and development and now trying to implement the data processing method in the smart city-related domain.

He is now responsible for BIM project management, organising training and workshops in BIMSE and contribute to the BIM standard.
