Dr Eric Lou FHEA
Faculty Head of International | Reader in Project Management
My profile
Biography
Eric joined Manchester Metropolitan University in March 2018 as a Reader in Project Management, and currently serves as the Head of International for the Faculty of Science and Engineering. He is a passionate academic and researcher with enthusiasm towards internationalisation of his work and service. Dr Lou’s research is internationally recognised though his success in Newton Fund, British Council and Royal Academy of Engineering grants and journal publications with partners globally. Eric is currently a Visiting Professor with Universiti Malaya (Faculty of Built Environment).
Dr Lou spent a decade in construction, higher education, information technology and environmental industries; and completed over £60 million in building refurbishment and new build projects before joining academia. Eric previously worked at the University of Manchester as the Director of Internationalisation and Lecturer in Project Management at the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering (MACE). He was the Joint Programme Director for (MSc) Project Management Asia Pacific and Deputy Programme Director for (MSc) Nuclear Technology Management. He also acts as an External Examiner at the Institute of Business, Industry and Leadership with the University of Cumbria, UK; and previously at the School of Science, Engineering and Environment, University of Salford, UK.
Dr Lou’s research interest encompasses the trichotomy of people-process-technology in the areas of project management, sustainability and environmental planning, BIM and IT management within the built environment industry. His current research takes him into the remit of 3D scanning, spectral imaging and heritage management. Eric obtained his degree in Computer Science (Universiti Teknologi Malaysia), and MSc in IT Management in Construction with Distinction (University of Salford). Following his stint in industry, he completed his part-time PhD in E-Readiness in Construction at the University of Salford.
Dr Lou’s work has earned admiration among peers in the industry - Winner of Business Innovation and Highly Commended SME of the Year in the UK North West Regional Construction Awards (NWRCA); National Finalist for Innovation in the Constructing Excellence National Awards; and Finalist in 6 categories in the NWRCA. Individually, Eric was the Business Leader of Tomorrow nominee in the UK national TSB-KTP Awards and the NWRCA Young Achiever of the Year finalist.
Dr Lou was recently awarded the Royal Academy of Engineering: Engineering Skills Where They are Most Needed (ESMN) Mission grant in Additive E-Platform for Digital Skills Development in Construction. This followed his successes with British Council Vietnam Higher Education Partnership with the National University of Civil Engineering Vietnam investigating Disruptive Innovation and Technology; British Council Newton Fund Researcher Links research grant with the National University of Malaysia investigating Heritage Refurbishment Assessment Schemes (HeRAS); and the British Council Newton Fund Institutional Links research grant with University of Malaya researching Sustainability-Led design by Building Information Modelling (SuLeD-BIM).
He is currently serving his community as a School Governor at Westhoughton High School.

Interests and expertise
Research interests
Sustainability & the Environment: My research looks into sustainability-led design for buildings with specific interest in refurbishment, retrofit and restoration of existing buildings. My expertise is in the areas of embodied energy and carbon of materials.
Information Modelling & Digitisation: My interest lies in the interoperability of data for the built environment. I explore technological advancements of big data, advanced imaging and building information modelling - all to create computing intelligence.
People – Process – Technology: The trichotomy of people-process-technology never been fully explored. This started the philosophy in rethinking, readiness and resilience in organisations. I consider this the new ‘iron triangle’ for the true success in the management of projects.
Research Opportunities
Advanced digital image processing for Building Information Modelling (BIM) - This aims to establish an innovative image processing tool to integrate digital information obtained from a variety of digital imaging techniques, for example, point cloud data, high-resolution colour imaging and spectral imaging. Advanced image processing involves management of point cloud data and imaging data, their visualisation and image registration.
BIM for Existing Buildings and Structures - Modelling in building design, simulation and intelligence in buildings are well-represented in BIM. However, BIM for existing buildings and structures are much unexplored and under researched. In addition, there is little known about how existing buildings and structures could improve sustainable living for the community; and little is done to utilise BIM to explore the possibilities to improve building sustainability.
True Value of Cultural Heritage - Much is discussed about heritage conservation, preservation, restoration and reconstruction - but what is the actual driving force being these? What are the influence of decisions before any physical alteration to heritage assets?
Circular Economy, Embodied Energy and Recycling Desirability - I am keen to explore the triumvirate of circular economy, embodied energy and recycling desirability within the environmental sustainability domain. Much research is done independently - this research may introduce new ideas for the built environment industry, and beyond.
