	Curriculum Vitae
	Frank Wang is currently a PhD candidate at the College of Architecture, Georgia Institute of Technology. He has been working in BIM-related (Building Information Modeling) projects with Professor Eastman over five years. He is one of the few experts in product models integration, especially IFC and CIS/2, in the North American AEC industry. He has worked in many industrial projects and software developments (see more). He has great knowledge in information interchange among structural steel related applications, including implementation and consulting services. His current research focuses on developing a new framework to interact with heterogeneous product/information models through an adaptable and tailorable user interface.

Research Projects 2004-2005 CIS/2 IFC Harmonization The project is an industrial funded project to harmonize CIS/2 (LPM6) information with IFC 2x2 (ST4). The two scopes of this project include 1) define the exchangeable information set between IFC and CIS/2 based on Used Case scenario; 2) implement CIS2-to-IFC (and versa verse) translators. 2000-2004 AISC CIMSteel (CIS/2) Deployment The project has been funded by AISC and led by Prof. Eastman since 2000. CIS/2 was adopted by AISC as the standard data model for their new EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) effort. There are over 12 software vendors who support data exchange through CIS/2. 2002-2004 FabTrol CIS/2 Relational DB The project is funded by AISC, FabTrol Co. and led by Prof. Eastman. My contribution includes implementing the interface between FabTrol internal DB and the GT CIS/2 relational database. The CIS/2 database is to be commercial FabTrol Co. in future release. 2002-2004 Data Visualization and Query of Product Model Repository Development of a data viewer and graphic query interface for a generic product model repository 2003-2004 CATIA-to-CIS/2 Transaltor The first phase of the project is funded by AISC to develop a CIS/2 translator on the structural bench of CATIA Dassualt. The main task is to export design CIS/2 model from CATIA V5.R10 (and later). The second phase of the project will be directly supported by Ghery's Technology. The project is currently under a contractual peroid Practice 1999-2000 Hanson Design Group, Pittsburgh, PA, USA Associate Designer Renovation of historical landmark- Schiller and Greenfield Elementary School 1997-1998 C.F.
