Function of the AMC: AMC Researchers
M. Sc. Sofia Tsiotou
is a doctoral researcher at the TUM Professorship of Mineral Construction Materials with a focus on clays and clay minerals for the purposes of the A10 project.
M. Sc. Michael Unterreiner
has a background in industrial engineering and biomimetics. Currently he is a doctoral student at the Chair of Materials Handling, Material Flow, Logistics within TUM and is responsible for the design, automation, and advancement of the near-nozzle continuous mixing system that was developed during the first project phase of A03.
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.
