Additive Manufacturing in Construction
AMC TRR 277

Bereich: Focus Area C

M. A. Frederic Chovghi

Frederic Chovghi is a doctoral researcher at the Professorship of Structural Design at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). His primary research focuses on the development of fabrication-aware form-finding methods for extrusion 3D printing.

M. Sc. Matti Christmann

is a doctoral researcher at the Chair of Data Science in Civil Engineering at Bauhaus-University Weimar. He conducts research on geometric modelling and simulation of additively manufactured (AM) parts, focusing on developing efficient and effective mechanical simulation workflows for evaluating the performance of as-built AM components. His work aims to advance the field of AM by enhancing the reliability of production processes.

Prof. Dr. sc. ETH Zurich Pierluigi D’Acunto

Pierluigi D'Acunto is Assistant Professor of Structural Design and a Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study at the Technical University of Munich. He holds a combined degree in Building Engineering-Architecture from the University of Pisa, a Master of Architecture from the Architectural Association in London, and a doctorate with distinction from ETH Zurich. His research explores geometry-based methods in structural design, computational approaches using equilibrium modeling, machine learning-driven form-finding, and fabrication-aware structural design strategies supported by advanced digital manufacturing technologies.

M. Sc. Sebastian Charles Dietrich

Sebastian Dietrich began his career with an apprenticeship as a formwork carpenter (2002-2005), later attending craftsman school and working in construction and architectural firms until 2010. He then studied International Civil Engineering at the University of Applied Sciences in Mainz and completed a Masters in Archineering at the Bauhaus University in Weimar, gaining experience in architecture and structural design. From 2017 to 2022, he worked at Bollinger+Grohmann as a structural engineer, focusing on projects involving existing structures and parametric design. Since 2021, he has been a research assistant at the Chair of Structural Design, researching topological interlocking structures, especially in the context of 3D concrete printing.

M. Sc. Janika Fischer

M.Sc. Janika Fischer is a doctoral researcher at the Chair of Computing in Civil and Building Engineering at the Technical University of Munich. Her research focuses on cyber-physical systems for Additive Manufacturing in Construction (AMC), with an emphasis on sensor integration, real-time monitoring, and machine learning for adaptive process control. This includes developing approaches for real-time defect detection and enabling manufacturing systems to adapt dynamically to changing process conditions during printing.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Markus Gerke

instructs the other doc. researcher in the fields of surveying, scanning and machine learning. A particular task will be the coordination of participants involved with this and other projects.

Dr.-Ing. Ann-Kathrin Goldbach

Dr.-Ing. Ann-Kathrin Goldbach is a researcher and educator in structural engineering. She is Deputy Director at the Chair of Structural Analysis at TUM. Her research focuses on parametric design, CAD-integrated analysis, isogeometric B-Rep analysis and lightweight and membrane structures.
