Bentley Systems<\/a> has announced Dr Nabil Abou-Rahme has joined the company as chief research officer for Bentley Institute\u2019s Digital Advancement Academies<\/h2>\n

Dr Nabil Abou-Rahme will work from Bentley\u2019s London offices, and will lead the company\u2019s efforts in digital advancement research, collaborating with the government, university, and industry visionaries to promote innovative solutions for advancing infrastructure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dr Nabil Abou-Rahme joins Bentley from the global\u00a0consultancy firm Mott MacDonald<\/a>, where he was actively involved in digital transformation, most recently as head of smart infrastructure and global practice leader for data science, and prior to that, as divisional director for intelligent transport.<\/p>\n

Bentley Systems CEO Greg Bentley said: \u201cWe are gratified to have Dr Abou-Rahme join us to inaugurate our chief research officer role.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are newly able to advance infrastructure engineering through digital twins, by converging technologies to simultaneously meet their essential requirements for digital context, digital components, and digital chronology.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccordingly, an appropriate priority for Bentley Institute\u2019s Digital Advancement Academies<\/a> is now to work with authoritative research organisations to explore and substantiate the growing benefits, which are already realisable from infrastructure digital twins.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy virtue of his unique combination of infrastructure engineering expertise and research experience, and contagious zeal for \u2018going digital,\u2019 Nabil brings the perfect fit to lead these collaborative endeavours.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr Nabil Abou-Rahme added: \u201cBentley has a clear commitment to accelerating the adoption of digital technologies, including advancing BIM through digital twins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cA key part of digital advancement research is a portfolio of demonstrator projects, collaborative prototypes that allow us to explore the art of the possible, while leveraging the best of academic, technical, and industrial experience within those teams.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur commitment also extends to supporting academic institutions through sponsorship and making our technologies available as a learning and development tool. Bentley\u2019s open and collaborative approach to innovation is well established, and I am excited to be leading this portfolio into the next phase of application.\u201d<\/p>\n
