</span><b>Dr Burcin Becerik-Gerber</b>, University of Southern California (USC), USA<br>
Burcin is an Associate Professor and Stephen Schrank Early Career Chair of Civil and Environmental Engineering. She received her D.Des (Doctor of Design) degree from Harvard University in 2006 and joined University of Southern California (USC) in 2008. Burcin
is the founding director of the Innovation in Integrated Informatics LAB, <a href="http://i-lab.usc.edu/">
http://i-lab.usc.edu/</a>. Her research focuses on acquisition, modeling, and analysis of the data needed for user-centered built environments, and the development of novel frameworks and visualization techniques to improve built-environment efficiency, while
increasing user satisfaction. She is currently advising eight Ph.D. students, several masters and undergraduate students in the “Informatics for Intelligent Built Environments” focus area.<o:p></o:p></p>

</span><b>Mr Philip Robinson</b>, Laing O'Rourke, UK<br>
Philip is a Chartered Engineer and is part of the Civil Engineering leadership team within Laing O’Rourke’s Engineering Excellence Group (<a href="http://www.laingorourke.com/engineering-the-future/engineering-excellence-group.aspx">http://www.laingorourke.com/engineering-the-future/engineering-excellence-group.aspx</a>),
focussing on innovation within the infrastructure sector and beyond. As part of his role within the Engineering Excellence Group Philip works closely with clients, technology partners, centres of education, and Laing O’Rourke’s own internal supply chain, and
has developed an understanding of the needs and challenges that face the industry as we move forwards into a new digital age of construction. Since joining the business three years ago he has worked closely with project teams on the A453 widening in Nottingham,
the Northern Line Extension and Thames Tideway Tunnel. More recently Philip has been working on a research and development project to develop a new digital platform for the design, manufacture, construction and maintenance of bridges. Prior to that, as part
of over 12 years of wider experience, Philip worked for Alan Baxter & Associates, a highly regarded Civil & Structural Engineering design consultancy, and spent over 5 years on the redesign of London Bridge Station as part of the Thameslink Programme.<o:p></o:p></p>
