March 05, 2024

Ian F. C. Smith is a Canadian and Swiss civil engineer and the Director of the TUM Georg Nemetschek Institute Artificial Intelligence for the Built World at the Technical University of Munich, Germany.[1]

Career edit

Smith completed his undergraduate degree in civil engineering at the University of Waterloo, Canada (1978)[2] in a five-year program of alternating four-month periods of studying and industrial experience where he worked in structural design offices, a boundary-layer wind tunnel lab (University of Western Ontario) and two steel fabricators in Canada.

After completing his PhD at the Engineering Department of the University of Cambridge, UK in 1982,[2] he continued his research and teaching career at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland.[3] Starting in the Civil Engineering Department (1982-1991), he worked on measurement systems, fatigue, and fracture mechanics in several collaborations with industry partners.

He switched to the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in the Computer Science Department (1991-1996) in order to focus on software applications for the construction industry.[4] Back in the Civil Engineering Department, he was appointed associate professor in 1999 and Full Professor in 2005.[5]

Smith was Head of the Applied Computing and Mechanics Laboratory (IMAC) (2000-2020)[6] and Chair of the Structural Engineering Institute at the School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (2001-2006).[7]

He has been the Director of the TUM Georg Nemetschek Institute Artificial Intelligence for the Built World, Technical University of Munich (TUM), since March 1, 2022.[8] He is also emeritus Professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland[9] and an adjunct professor at Carnegie Mellon University, USA since 2011.[10]

His research activity is on the intersection of computer science with the built environment. In 1993, he founded the European Group for Structural Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence (EG-SEA-AI). This group later became the European Group for Intelligent Computing in Engineering (EG-ICE).[11]

In 2003, he co-authored the textbook Engineering Informatics: Fundamentals of Computer-Aided Engineering (Wiley), the 2nd edition of which appeared in June 2013. In 2004, he was elected to the Swiss Academy of Engineering Sciences[2] and in 2005, he received the Computing in Civil Engineering Award from the ASCE.[12]

From 2010 to 2020, he directed a second research group in Asia as Principal Investigator at the ETH Future Cities Laboratory, CREATE, Singapore.[13] In 2022, he was elected to the National Academy of Construction, USA.[14][15]
