Overview AMC Researchers
is a structural engineer and doctoral researcher at the TUB Institute for Structural Design (ITE). He is responsible for Project A10 where he is researching on Sprayed Earth Additive Manufacturing (SEAM). This includes general investigations on earthen constructions as well as development of the SEAM process and the optimization of material-process interactions. Within the project, he will carry out experimental studies and systematically evaluate the data in order to determine the key parameters of the SEAM process. In addition, he will design and investigate suitable applications in the context of construction in collaboration with other sub-projects.

Philipp Jakobs is a doctoral candidate and research associate at the Chair of Structural Analysis at the TUM School of Engineering and Design, supervised by Prof. Dr. Roland Wüchner. His research is dedicated to advancing a Continuous Optimization Approach within the framework of the C02 project. With a strong background in computational mechanics and structural optimisation, his work complements the effort to formulate a Holistic Design Framework (HDF), integrating architectural, structural, and fabrication considerations to advance design solutions for additively manufactured structures.

is developing efficient finite element methods for engineering applications at the Chair of Data Science in Civil Engineering of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. One of his research areas is the spatiotemporally adaptive resolution and numerical optimization of additive manufacturing processes. He also focusses on immersed simulations of 3D-printed geometries and on spectral element or spectral cell methods for inverse problems in non-destructive testing.
