Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Willems is a Senior Scientist and BIM specialist with over 15 years of experience applying semantic and geometric modeling, systems engineering, and configuration and asset management to public-sector infrastructure projects. He combines academic rigor (PhD-level training from Delft University of Technology) with hands-on ICT skills, rapidly prototyping round-trip engineering demos and extending core open-source platforms such as the BIMserver back end. As owner of infraBIM.nl and long-time consultant to Rijkswaterstaat, he drives national and international BIM standardization efforts, including implementation of open COINS standards and object type libraries. Notable for bridging high-level multi-view modeling with concrete software integrations, he brings rare depth across both domain semantics and scalable backend development.
