He received his BSc and MSc in Civil Engineering in 2002 from the University of Balamand (Lebanon) and his PhD in Building Construction Management from the University of Florida (USA) in 2007 with Emphasis on Information Sharing and Information Management. He believes that computing and technology are fundamental to the advancement of globalization of science and engineering and he works toward this goal.
His research areas include the integration of 3D technologies in information modeling techniques, development of knowledge acquisition methods and strategies for examining and capturing expert design knowledge, sharing lessons learned and historical data to improve design, increase efficiency in the construction processes, and improve the classroom experience of teaching construction management.
Prior to joining the faculty at Purdue University, Dr. Dib worked on management of commercial construction for major construction management companies.
Dr. Dib is the founder and director of the IVM lab
Clark Cory joined the Computer Graphic Technology Department at Purdue University in 1999. Clark's primary professional responsibility is undergraduate instruction in architectural and construction graphic communication and visualization as it relates to Building Information Modeling (BIM). He currently continues to develop & improve the Construction Graphics Communication specialty area within the Computer Graphics Department at Purdue. Clark has had over 45 years' experience in the AEC industry with positions ranging from general laborer to project manager of residential & commercial structures and has even worked as a designer for Architectural firms while in industry. Clark is currently teaching all courses related to Construction Graphics & BIM at Purdue. He also is an academic advisor for the Building Information Modeling and Design/Build student clubs. In addition to the AEC professional experiences, teaching, and student organizations participation; Clark is currently involved in industry/educational partnerships with such companies as Holder Construction, Saterfield & Pontikes, Messer Construction, DPR and many more. Clark also is engaged with technology developers like Autodesk, Dell, WorldViz, Syncrho, BlueBeam, and Vico systems that develop and promote construction visualization, Building Information Modeling, 3D to XD of BIM, animation for AEC, AEC illustration, smart house technology, visual communication information, VR and Augmented Reality which his primary areas of research.
