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. Ed. Bettina Saile
was a scientific researcher in A08, with experience in concrete extrusion as well as in selective binding of cement. She was responsible for the cross-project coordination and organization at the TUM AMC Lab and was supporting the different projects in their planning and execution of experiments.
Dr. Shanmugaraj Senthilnathan
Dr. Shanmugaraj Senthilnathan is a postdoctoral researcher at the Chair of Materials and Methods in Digital Construction (M²DC) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). His research focuses on the digital characterisation of fresh concrete properties using computer vision and multimodal sensing techniques. Within the AMC project, he is responsible for developing automated quality monitoring and closed-loop feedback systems for shotcrete 3D printing to improve geometric fidelity and process reliability. He further contributes to data analysis, scientific publications, and the advancement of digital construction methodologies.
M. Sc. Syed Ashfaq Hussain Shah
is a PhD. Researcher working under the supervision of Prof. Dr.-Ing. André Borrmann and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Frank Petzold. In this capacity, on one hand, he is responsible for the investigation of the design and implementation of Virtual Research Environment (VRE). And the definition of new features in VRE. On the other hand, he is responsible for the investigation of the Data management and publication platform. And the definition of data management policy and plans. Moreover, he is responsible for the coordination and collaboration and, conducting training sessions and workshops to facilitate the adoption of these platforms in the context of TRR 277.
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.
