About

Claudiane Ouellet-Plamondon is a researcher at the forefront of digital fabrication, computational design, and construction automation, with a particular focus on integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) with robotic manufacturing technologies. Her work addresses one of the construction industry's most pressing challenges: bridging the gap between digital design environments and physical fabrication processes, particularly in off-site and prefabricated construction contexts. Among her most influential contributions is her development of integrated Design-to-Manufacturing (DtM) frameworks that leverage BIM to drive robotic workflows, a paper that has already garnered 44 citations since 2023. She has also pioneered the use of optimization methods to automate concrete mix design for 3D printing, significantly reducing manual workload while improving material performance. Her systematic literature reviews on BIM-robotic interoperability have become essential reference points for researchers navigating the AEC industry's digital transformation. Ouellet-Plamondon's scholarship spans materials science, computational design, and construction robotics, making her a uniquely interdisciplinary voice in an industry undergoing rapid technological change. Her research collectively offers both theoretical frameworks and practical tools that empower engineers, architects, and fabricators to realize smarter, more automated construction pipelines.
