About
Ivanka Iordanova is a leading researcher at the intersection of Building Information Modeling (BIM), construction automation, and robotic manufacturing. Her work focuses on integrating computational design with digital fabrication to transform the architectural engineering and construction (AEC) industry. Iordanova’s major contributions include developing BIM-driven frameworks for robotic manufacturing in off-site construction, such as her integrated Design-to-Manufacturing (DtM) approach, and pioneering semantic navigation systems that enable autonomous robots to operate safely on dynamic construction sites. Her most cited paper, a systematic literature review on BIM and GIS integration for construction automation (68 citations), has become a foundational reference in the field. She has also advanced modular robotic prefabrication of discrete aggregations and robotic 3D concrete printing, demonstrating how BIM can drive additive manufacturing. Iordanova’s work on ontology-based data exchanges and intuitive user interfaces for robot navigation addresses critical interoperability challenges. As a key contributor to the ISARC proceedings, she has helped shape the discourse on automation and robotics in construction. With over 200 citations across her portfolio, Iordanova’s research is essential reading for anyone interested in the digital transformation of construction, from BIM-enabled design to on-site robotic deployment.
