Bereich: Focus Area C
M. Sc. Ahmad Nouman
is a research associate at the Chair of Building Technology and Climate Responsive Design. The doctoral researcher focuses on decentralizing the active strategies to minimize energy consumption and improve thermal and visual comfort in built environments. He shares all responsibilities in the context of C03 essentially, modeling the simulations and designing experiments to develop additive manufacturing elements with integrated passive and active functionalities.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Vincent Oettel
instructs the research engineer at iBMB in the conceptual structure, execution and evaluation of the theoretical, experimental and numerical research work.
M. Sc. Oguz Oztoprak
Oguz Oztoprak 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 AM parts. More specificaly, he develops efficient and effective mechanical simulation workflows to integrate complex AM parts into building scale models.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Frank Petzold
acts as co-lead in this research project. He is responsible for leading and guiding WP1 and parts of WP 4. He is also responsible for coordinating the collaboration with other projects. He leads the doctoral researcher in the design and implementation of the research data management & publication platform. He is responsible for the coordination of the research projects in the TRR 277 and the coordination with the University Library of the Technical University of Munich.
Prof. Dr. phil. Daniel Pittich
leads the research fellows according to the WP in th eprocesses of exploration ,identification and evaluation of AM in the context of technology, parameters and operational processes. On this basis, he supports the analysis and transformation of the data for specific Qualification Concepts as well as the development of the framework of aspects of qualification concepts in AM. In co-operation with PL Winter, he is responsible for the co-ordinating adaptation to the cooperating projects of TRR 277 (WP 1).
M. Sc. Gerrit Placzek
Doctoral researcher at IBB: The doc. researcher will perform a cross-sectional role and work closely with both the other doc. researchers in C06 and on all the other projects mentioned in order to investigate fundamental AM processes and their construction-operational parameters. He will extend the basic knowledge of AM processes through the analysis of AM produced components. Furthermore, he will develop methods for data management and exchange as well as an AM process chain to address fundamental issues of the integration of AM in construction.
Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Ernst Rank
was head of the Chair for Computation in Engineering of TUM. Since his retirement in March 2020 he has been member of the Emeriti of Excellence of the university. As such, he guides researchers in the areas of geometric modelling and develops simulation methods of high accuracy. He has actively carried out research in this area himself for decades. In this research project, he is responsible for the bridging of scales as well as the development of simulations regarding mineral based artefacts. He intends to continue his research in TR277 at least for the whole first funding period.
M. Sc. Christiane Richter
Christiane Richter is a research associate and doctoral candidate at the Professorship of Structural Design at the TUM School of Engineering and Design. Under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Pierluigi D'Acunto, she is conducting research within the C02 project. With a solid foundation in structural engineering and expertise in concrete Additive Manufacturing, her primary focus lies in formulating a Holistic Design Framework (HDF). This framework integrates architectural, structural, and fabrication considerations to derive optimal design solutions for additively manufactured structures.
