Function of the AMC: AMC Researchers
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.
M. Sc. Dorina Siebert
Doctoral researcher: carrying out scientific studies. She will play a decisive role in planning and conducting fatigue and fracture testing. The evaluation and interpretation of test results is also one of her tasks. Finally she undertakes statistical considerations, which are intended to serve as a basis for the development of design guidelines.”
M. A. Živa Simšič
is a doctoral researcher at Rudolf Mößbauer Tenure Track Assistant Professorship of Learning Sciences and Educational Design Technologies, TUM School of Social Sciences and Technology, and TUM Institute for Advanced Study (IAS). Živa’s background in arts education serves Project Ö’s constructionist and design-based research initiative to create the AMC Edu:Lab, a dynamic learning space designed for active engagement with AMC research and innovation. In her research, Živa aims to support education about and with AMC technologies at an early age, to integrate gender-equitable perspectives into additive manufacturing practices, and to raise awareness of the importance of sustainability in construction among youth.
M. Sc. Martin Slepicka
is developing a data structure and corresponding methods (WP 2) that enable a closed chain between digital design (e.g. BIM) and digital manufacturing (mainly Additive Manufacturing). For backwards communication of "as-built" information during and after a manufacturing process, digital twin methods are incorporated into the developed FIM system (WP 3).
Dr. Harper Staples
Harper Staples is a postdoctoral researcher at Rudolf Mößbauer Tenure Track Assistant Professorship of Learning Sciences and Educational Design Technologies, TUM School of Social Sciences and Technology, and TUM Institute for Advanced Study (IAS). Her current research draws on mixed-methods approaches to explore the role of arts-based education in STEM contexts in fostering young learner social-emotional learning and in shaping future construction spaces.
