Goran Sibenik (male) is a research assistant at the Institute for Interdisciplinary Construction Process Management at TU Wien since 2016. He holds a degree in Architecture at University of Sarajevo, and a degree in Building Science and Technology at TU Wien. He has been working on the topic of data exchange between architectural design and structural analysis models, with a focus on open data exchange. His PhD topic includes the analysis of existing standards, generating building data models, and overcoming the differences between domains in BIM-based design processes. Furthermore, the research involves knowledge in dealing with various software tools used within various domains in the architecture, engineering and construction industry, and ways of managing, accessing and editing data representations. In addition, he was part of DATAFILTER and AECOntologies projects in cooperation with STRABAG AG, which encompass filtering, extended preprocessing and validation of innovative building data model definitions with various classification, taxonomies and ontologies. Currently he is part of BIMd.sign project which investigates implementation of blockchain technology for building design stage.
