Associates Overview
Guest Researchers
The AMC invites outstanding researchers from various disciplines, especially from abroad, as guests for longer and shorter stays. They are usually in close exchange with individual subprojects and support the project staff with their expertise. In lecture formats, they present their own research and discuss it together with the staff. At the end of each stay, the results obtained are published in joint publications. Proposals and invitations for guest researchers can be submitted to the AMC at any time.
Associated industry partners
Associated industry partners support the AMC in order to accelerate the transfer into application. In this way, the bridge between pure basic research and industry is to be further expanded. Along associated industry partners the technological value chain is bundled and a high relevance in practice is generated. Proposals for the association of industrial partners can be formulated by any AMC scientist to the AMC Executive Director. The speakers finally decide on an association.
Associated Scientists
Associated scientists and research groups whose scientific profile is closely related to the AMC and its projects. Associates are invited to participate in all AMC events and are supported by the AMC in the realization of their own projects. Proposals and invitations can be formulated by any AMC scientist to the AMC Executive Director. The spokespersons finally decide on an association.
Alumni
The circle of alumni includes all former employees, former guest scientists and former associated members of the AMC. Even after the official departure, the alumni continue to work together on the mutual use of the experience potential and on the development of a network. Likewise, the AMC should receive new impulses from its alumni.
She has been appointed as co-coordinator of The Collaborative Research Center Transregio 277, Additive Manufacturing in Construction. Her research focus is the interface of structural engineering, architecture, and polymer science in order to adapt new technologies and materials in construction technology and design.
Professorship of Structural Design and Digital Fabrication at the Technical University of Munich
is the head of the chair of structur alanalysis. He is responsible for all actions, in particular regarding research, education and administration. He was esponsible for the C02 project and its coordination within the TRR. He guided all staff in that context and decided about research actions.
Chair of Structural Analysis, Department of Civil, Geo and Environmental Engineering
was head of the division Powder and Slurry Processes and supported Prof. Kwade in leading project A02.
Fakultät Verfahrenstechnik
Mechanische Verfahrenstechnik/Partikeltechnologie
Technische Hochschule Nürnberg Georg Simon Ohm
sandra.breitung-faes@th-nuernberg.de
is a mechanical engineer and doctoral researcher at TUM-HBB. For the project A08 he will work out the details of the fabrication process and is responsible for the topic of automatization. In C07 his responsibilities include the development of data acquisition concepts in order to identify relevant process parameters as well as the evaluation of generated data in order to form concepts for regulation and quality assessment.
Chair of Timber Structures and Building Construction
Doctoral researcher: for the duration of the research project carrying out the scientific studies. He will execute heat treatment, mechanical testing, and metallurgical analysis, the investigation of geometry influence on structural performance and finally the analysis of results in view of first AM design guidelines.
Chair of Metal Structures
was a doctoral researcher and Head of research group “Assembly and Production Automation” at the Institute for Machine Tools and Production Technology (IWF) at TU Braunschweig. He supported Prof. Dröder with designing further research topics and coordinated the work at IWF in the scope of A04.
Institute for Machine Tools and Production Technology
Torben Gädt is professor at the Chemistry Department at TU Munich. He holds the chair for the Chemistry of Construction Materials. The research of his group is focused on admixture driven concrete design with a special focus on the rheology and hydration kinetics of inorganic binder phases. He will support the work of the TRR 277 as an expert in rheology-control of mineral construction materials with admixtures.
Lehrstuhl für Bauchemie
Elyas Ghafoori is a professor of “Steel, Composite and Lightweight Construction” and director of Institute for Steel Construction and Test Centre Supporting Structures at Leibniz University Hannover. He and his group are active in the area of metal additive manufacturing, in particular on wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). Current research topics include: structural integrity & fatigue of WAAM, WAAM for repair/strengthening, hybrid manufacturing, WAAM simulation and WAAM for bionic designs.
