He is also experienced in conducting massively parallel runs on THIER-0 systems and analyzing huge data sets with more than 10 degrees of freedom.
is a doctoral researcher at TU Braunschweig. He is responsible for developing material model of concrete used in additive manufacturing. His doctoral research also focuses on simulating the additive manufacturing deposition process on a part scale. Moreover, he will frequently publish the achieved results within the community.
is a postdoctoral researcher at the ITE. He is responsible for design strategies and possible applications. This includes the development of new structures, semi-finished parts and the concept for on-site WAAM as well as life cycle analysis and the creation of Digital Twins. He also prepares reports, presentations and publications.
His task is to develop a DDSS at a early design phase integrating AM. The expected system needs to combine both hard rules (boundary conditions) and experts’s experience, in order to advise the designer (architect) for feasible AM methods regarding to different building components.
is a doctoral researcher at the Professorship of Technical Education at TUM School of Social Sciences and Technology. The focus of his work in C07 is on the competence and qualification requirements of the involved experts in order to have trained professionals for a later implementation of AMC. For this, the different processes must be analyzed in their entirety from the perspective of handling and problem-solving activities.
is an associate researcher at the IGP and will help with supervision of one of the doctoral researchers. His expertise in computer vision, scanning technologies and implementing deep learning methods will be used in this project.
Doctoral researcher at IGP: The researcher Will Provide an inspection process chain utilizing new digital tools to perform the quality inspection of the as-built model of AMC products (mainly concrete) with its digital twin on the component level. Moreover, the next focus would be building scale monitoring of the construction site and establishing accurate coordinate systems to support the positioning during the project.
is a doctoral researcher at the Institute for Machine Tools and Production Technology (IWF) at TU Braunschweig. He is working on the development of different end effectors for an automated concrete reinforcement. Additionally he is developing different nozzle geometries for the SC3DP process. Moreover, he will frequently publish the results achieved within the community.
Dr.-Ing. Samim Mehdizadeh co-leads research activities and supervises doctoral researchers in the areas of lightweight concrete, on-site robotic fabrication, and multi-robotic fabrication.

is a research associate in the work group of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Arno Kwade. He is responsible for the development of tailored particles for the SCA process.
is a doctoral researcher at the Institute for Machine Tools and Production Technology (IWF) at TU Braunschweig. He will support developing finite element models for use in additive manufacturing. This includes supporting the simulation of the process and investigation of the effect of material modelling. He further analyzes all data, prepares reports, presentations, and publications.
doctoral researcher at IS. He is responsible for the planning and execution of all scientific work, both numerical and experimental, in the framework of WAAM. This includes material and component testing, material modeling, analysis of all data, preparation of reports, presentations and publications.
is a research associate at the Chair of Building Technology and Climate Responsive Design. The doctoral researcher focuses on decentralizing the active strategies to minimize energy consumption and improve thermal and visual comfort in built environments. He shares all responsibilities in the context of C03 essentially, modeling the simulations and designing experiments to develop additive manufacturing elements with integrated passive and active functionalities.
is a doctoral researcher at the Institute for Machine Tools and Production Technology (IWF) at TU Braunschweig. She is specialized in robotic manufacturing processes, especially for additive manufacturing and supports the development for the processing of printed SC3DP elements within project A04.
Oguz Oztoprak is a doctoral researcher at the Chair of Data Science in Civil Engineering at Bauhaus-University Weimar. He conducts research on geometric modelling and simulation of AM parts. More specificaly, he develops efficient and effective mechanical simulation workflows to integrate complex AM parts into building scale models.
Doctoral researcher at IBB: The doc. researcher will perform a cross-sectional role and work closely with both the other doc. researchers in C06 and on all the other projects mentioned in order to investigate fundamental AM processes and their construction-operational parameters. He will extend the basic knowledge of AM processes through the analysis of AM produced components. Furthermore, he will develop methods for data management and exchange as well as an AM process chain to address fundamental issues of the integration of AM in construction.
Christiane Richter is a research associate and doctoral candidate at the Professorship of Structural Design at the TUM School of Engineering and Design. Under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Pierluigi D’Acunto, she is conducting research within the C02 project. With a solid foundation in structural engineering and expertise in concrete Additive Manufacturing, her primary focus lies in formulating a Holistic Design Framework (HDF). This framework integrates architectural, structural, and fabrication considerations to derive optimal design solutions for additively manufactured structures.
