Function of the AMC: AMC Researchers
Dr.-Ing. Thomas Kränkel
Head of workgroup concrete technology and assists Prof. Gehlen in leading project A02. He instructs and supports the academic staff regarding additive manufacturing and concrete technological questions.
Dr.-Ing. Konstantin Kutscher
is the lead developer of the VirtualFluids software. In this function he is indispensable for the project as a new doc. res. could not possibly extend the existing framework (>700,000 lines of code) with the new models to be developed and adapted in WP 1-4. He is also experienced in conducting massively parallel runs on THIER-0 systems and analyzing huge data sets with more than 10 degrees of freedom.
M. Sc. Quoc Tuan La
is a doctoral researcher at TU Braunschweig. He is responsible for developing material model of concrete used in additive manufacturing. His doctoral research also focuses on simulating the additive manufacturing deposition process on a part scale. Moreover, he will frequently publish the achieved results within the community.
Dr.-Ing. Lukas Ledderose
is a postdoctoral researcher at the ITE. He is responsible for design strategies and possible applications. This includes the development of new structures, semi-finished parts and the concept for on-site WAAM as well as life cycle analysis and the creation of Digital Twins. He also prepares reports, presentations and publications.
M. Sc. Chao Li
His task is to develop a DDSS at a early design phase integrating AM. The expected system needs to combine both hard rules (boundary conditions) and experts's experience, in order to advise the designer (architect) for feasible AM methods regarding to different building components.
Dr. Tobias Ludwig
is a doctoral researcher at the Professorship of Technical Education at TUM School of Social Sciences and Technology. The focus of his work in C07 is on the competence and qualification requirements of the involved experts in order to have trained professionals for a later implementation of AMC. For this, the different processes must be analyzed in their entirety from the perspective of handling and problem-solving activities.
Dr.-Ing. Mehdi Maboudi
is an associate researcher at the IGP and will help with supervision of one of the doctoral researchers. His expertise in computer vision, scanning technologies and implementing deep learning methods will be used in this project.
M. Sc. Karam Mawas
Doctoral researcher at IGP: The researcher Will Provide an inspection process chain utilizing new digital tools to perform the quality inspection of the as-built model of AMC products (mainly concrete) with its digital twin on the component level. Moreover, the next focus would be building scale monitoring of the construction site and establishing accurate coordinate systems to support the positioning during the project.
