Function of the AMC: AMC Researchers
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.
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.
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. 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.
M. Sc. David Richter
David is a civil engineer with a passion for soft- and hardware development, digital manufacturing, and prototyping. He obtained his master’s degree in civil engineering from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), with a thesis focused on the investigation of printed carbon short fibre concrete under cyclic tensile stress. Prior to that, David studied philosophy and completed his bachelor’s degree in civil engineering at TUM. Throughout his professional journey, David has gained valuable experience in construction management and execution. In these firsthand experiences on the construction site, David got to know the challenges of finding qualified staff and driving the adoption of new digital technologies in the industry. His passion for innovation and experimentation is reflected in different automation/digitization projects, both in the construction sector and other industry branches.
M. Sc. Felix Riegger
is a research associate in the workgroup of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael F. Zäh. As an expert in WAAM, he is responsible for the simulation and temperature modelling of the process.
M. Sc. Jennifer Rudolph
is a research assistant at the Technical University of Braunschweig in the group of Prof. Dr. Lowke. Together with David Böhler, she will lead and organise the material development and testing programme as well as the data analysis and material modelling within the Lowke group. Jennifer Rudolph will focus on investigating the mix designs as well as the environmental and rheological optimisation of the material.
M. Sc. Mohammad Savadkouhi Aghamolki
He is a research assistant at IGP. He is responsible for investigating geometric quality control (optimal sensors and inspection methods) to enable a bidirectional control loop between AMC products and their digital twin. Moreover, he focuses on implementing an automated near real-time approach for multi-member localization on a cyber-physical construction site to facilitate data flow (feedback) between the digital and physical spaces."
Dr.-Ing. Bartłomiej Sawicki
is a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Structural Design (ITE), TU Braunschweig. He is responsible for structural concepts and design strategies as well as structural testing, with special focus on digitally fabricated reinforced concrete. Furthermore, his research interests lie in the material – process – structure interaction and industry 5.0. He is also co-developing new research directions and proposals.
