Erik Andrew Poirier PhD in construction engineering. He holds a master’s degree and a Ph.D. in construction engineering from the École de Technologie Supérieure. He obtained his Bachelor of Science in Architecture from Laval University. He completed his post-doctoral internship at the BIM Topics Lab at the University of British Columbia where he taught and participated in the supervision of 8 HQP. He has more than 15 years of industry experience, having worked in Vancouver and Montreal. Erik acts as Vice-President of the BIM Group in Quebec and is a member of the board of directors of buildingSMART Canada. The two non-profit organizations aim to support the built environment sector in digital transformation. He is co-director of the mirror committee ISO / TC59 SC 13 – Organization of information on construction works for the Standards Council of Canada. Erik specializes in integrating and optimizing information flows in value chains and in the life cycle of the built environment.

M.Sc. Architecture, Ph.D. in Environmental Design, LEED AP 
Ms Iordanova holds a masters’ degree in architecture and a Ph.D. in Environmental Design from Université de Montréal. After a few years of architectural practice, she taught architecture at the University of Montreal and was a researcher at the GRCAO (Groupe de recherche en conception assistée par ordinateur) and the GRIDD, where she completed postdoctoral studies. At Pomerleau, she spent a number of years as Innovation Director, where she implemented BIM technologies for building and infrastructure construction. Ms Iordanova authored multiple scientific articles in various domains: from architectural design to quality-focused building construction, with digital technologies and integrated conception as common threads.
