is a civil engineer and doctoral researcher at the TU Braunschweig Institute for Structural Design (ITE). She is responsible for Project A10, where she is conducting research on Sprayed Earth Additive Manufacturing (SEAM). Her work involves exploring earthen construction techniques, enhancing the SEAM process, and optimizing material-process interactions. Within this project, she focuses on material development through experimental studies, data analysis, and investigating material behavior to identify and optimize the key parameters of the SEAM process.
