PhD M.Sc. Freek Bos
Team Leader for Extrusion-Based Additive Manufacturing of Concrete at the TUM School of Engineering and Design
Dr. Alexander Braun
M. Sc. David Briels
is a doctoral researcher and research associate at the Chair of Building Technology and Climate Responsive Design at TUM. Under the lead of Prof. Thomas Auer he conducts the research activities within C03. In particular he is developing a building simulation framework for a performance-based parametric design process, integrating passive and active functions in AM construction elements.
M. Sc. Birger Buschmann
is a mechanical engineer and doctoral researcher at TUM-HBB. For the project A08 he will work out the details of the fabrication process and is responsible for the topic of automatization. In C07 his responsibilities include the development of data acquisition concepts in order to identify relevant process parameters as well as the evaluation of generated data in order to form concepts for regulation and quality assessment.
M. A. Frederic Chovghi
Frederic Chovghi is a doctoral researcher at the Professorship of Structural Design at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). His primary research focuses on the development of fabrication-aware form-finding methods for extrusion 3D printing.
M. Sc. Shengbo Cheng
is a research associate at TUM School of Engineering and Design. He works on structural analysis of functional graded concrete produced by near-nozzle mixing system in A03 and is responsible for evaluating the properties of graded concrete by means of experiments and modelling.
M. Sc. Fiona Collins
she is a former researcher in the Focus Area C of the Project C 04.
Prof. Dr. sc. ETH Zurich Pierluigi D’Acunto
Pierluigi D'Acunto is Assistant Professor of Structural Design and a Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study at the Technical University of Munich. He holds a combined degree in Building Engineering-Architecture from the University of Pisa, a Master of Architecture from the Architectural Association in London, and a doctorate with distinction from ETH Zurich. His research explores geometry-based methods in structural design, computational approaches using equilibrium modeling, machine learning-driven form-finding, and fabrication-aware structural design strategies supported by advanced digital manufacturing technologies.
