Function of the AMC: AMC Researchers
M. Sc. Hannes Eichler
is a structural engineer and doctoral researcher at the TUB Institute for Structural Design (ITE). He is responsible for Project A10 where he is researching on Sprayed Earth Additive Manufacturing (SEAM). This includes general investigations on earthen constructions as well as development of the SEAM process and the optimization of material-process interactions. Within the project, he will carry out experimental studies and systematically evaluate the data in order to determine the key parameters of the SEAM process. In addition, he will design and investigate suitable applications in the context of construction in collaboration with other sub-projects.
M. Sc. Virama Ekanayaka
is a doctoral researcher at the IWF. He will be developing finite element models to be used in additive manufacturing. He will lead the implementation of mathematical approaches for model order reduction and work on system sensorization. He will frequently publish the results achieved within the community.
Dipl. Ing. Julia Fleckenstein
is a doctoral researcher at the TT Professorship for Digital Fabrication at TUM with background in architecture. In her research, she explores site-specific digital design tools for robotically fabricated real-size mono-component building envelopes. As part of her association with the AMC, she is part of the interdisciplinary teaching team for the project "From Additive Manufacturing to Architecture" in 2022 and contributes as Design Lead for the collaborative demonstrator “Breuer x AM”.
M. Sc. Markus Freidhofer
Markus Freidhofer is a research associate in the workgroup of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael F. Zäh. His research focuses on the combined process of stud welding and wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) for the production of structural reinforcements. This includes the simulation of the combined process, as well as process control and process monitoring for quality-assured manufacturing
M. Sc. Niklas Freund
is a doctoral researcher for the duration of the research project. He will lead and organise the material development and testing program as well as the data evaluation and material modelling work within WG Lowke. Moreover, he will frequently publish the results achieved within the community.
M. Sc. Stefan Gantner
investigates fibre reinforcement strategies as doctoral researcher. In collaboration with project partners he develops techniques for processing fibres to obtain suitable reinforcement structures for different AM methods. Beyond conception his work scope ranges from deriving representative part designs to physical testing including prototyping of toolings.
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.
M.Sc. Joschua Gosslar
