M. Sc. Sebastian Charles Dietrich
Sebastian Dietrich began his career with an apprenticeship as a formwork carpenter (2002-2005), later attending craftsman school and working in construction and architectural firms until 2010. He then studied International Civil Engineering at the University of Applied Sciences in Mainz and completed a Masters in Archineering at the Bauhaus University in Weimar, gaining experience in architecture and structural design. From 2017 to 2022, he worked at Bollinger+Grohmann as a structural engineer, focusing on projects involving existing structures and parametric design. Since 2021, he has been a research assistant at the Chair of Structural Design, researching topological interlocking structures, especially in the context of 3D concrete printing.
M. Sc. Johannes Diller
Doctoral researcher: for the duration of the research project carrying out the scientific studies. He will execute heat treatment, mechanical testing, and metallurgical analysis, the investigation of geometry influence on structural performance and finally the analysis of results in view of first AM design guidelines.
Prof. Dr. sc. ETH Kathrin Dörfler
leads the scientific staff in the conception and execution of the research, and in questions of validation of the proposed methods. She is also responsible for the coordination of the cooperating research projects in the TRR 277. She is the Co-Spokesperson of the TRR 277. Dörfler supports Kloft as contact person for the DFG, in general public relation matters and also in representing the TRR 277 externally. Internally, Dörfler assists Kloft in the coordination between the research projects, as well as in the decisions on the financing of research tasks in the TRR 277.
Dr.-Ing. Sebastian Esser
Dr.-Ing. Sebastian Esser is a postdoctoral researcher at the Chair of Computing in Civil and Building Engineering at the Technical University of Munich. His research centers on knowledge representations for the built environment, with a focus on predictive methods and real-time feedback systems for additively manufactured components. This includes improving data models, advancing the FIM system, and integrating digital twin approaches to capture as-built information during and after production.
M. Sc. Jakob Fellner
he is a former researcher in the Focus Area C of the Project C 04.
M. Sc. Janika Fischer
M.Sc. Janika Fischer is a doctoral researcher at the Chair of Computing in Civil and Building Engineering at the Technical University of Munich. Her research focuses on cyber-physical systems for Additive Manufacturing in Construction (AMC), with an emphasis on sensor integration, real-time monitoring, and machine learning for adaptive process control. This includes developing approaches for real-time defect detection and enabling manufacturing systems to adapt dynamically to changing process conditions during printing.
Dipl. Ing. Julia Fleckenstein
is a doctoral researcher at the TT Professorship for Digital Fabrication at TUM with background in architecture. In her research, she explores site-specific digital design tools for robotically fabricated real-size mono-component building envelopes. As part of her association with the AMC, she is part of the interdisciplinary teaching team for the project "From Additive Manufacturing to Architecture" in 2022 and contributes as Design Lead for the collaborative demonstrator “Breuer x AM”.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Johannes Fottner
Project leader in A03 and B02. He instructs and supports the academic staff regarding bulk conveying and machine design questions.
