Function of the AMC: AMC Researchers
M. Sc. Franziska Wahl
has a background in lightweight structures' design and computational mechanics. Currently, she is a doctoral researcher at the Institute of Structural Analysis at TU Braunschweig with a focus on embedded finite element techniques and applications in multi-physics simulations and structural optimization. Within project C02, Franziska mainly contributes to the high-fidelity optimization approach.
Dr.-Ing. Suneth Warnakulasuriya
He is a Senior Scientist and Head of the Computational Simulation Lab at the Chair of Structural Analysis, Technical University of Munich. With a robust background in computational mechanics, structural mechanics, optimization, and fluid dynamics, his research centers on advancing and implementing cutting-edge continuous optimization techniques within the framework of the C02 project. In addition to his academic leadership, he serves as a technical committee member of the open-source KRATOS Multiphysics finite element framework, which plays a pivotal role in the development efforts of the C02 project.
M. Sc. Yinan Xiao
Is a doctoral researcher at the Institute of Structural Design (ITE) at TU Braunschweig.
M. Sc. Diana Zavaleta
is a civil engineer and doctoral researcher at the TU Braunschweig Institute for Structural Design (ITE). She is responsible for Project A10, where she is conducting research on Sprayed Earth Additive Manufacturing (SEAM). Her work involves exploring earthen construction techniques, enhancing the SEAM process, and optimizing material-process interactions. Within this project, she focuses on material development through experimental studies, data analysis, and investigating material behavior to identify and optimize the key parameters of the SEAM process.
