M.Sc. Tobias Recker
leads scientific teams for AM, fatigue and fracture and aluminium at MB and is responsible for the MB Laboratory. She supervises experiments and provides assistance in analysis and interpre- tation of results
M. Sc. Christiane Richter
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. 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.
M. Sc. David Richter
David is a civil engineer with a passion for soft- and hardware development, digital manufacturing, and prototyping. He obtained his master’s degree in civil engineering from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), with a thesis focused on the investigation of printed carbon short fibre concrete under cyclic tensile stress. Prior to that, David studied philosophy and completed his bachelor’s degree in civil engineering at TUM. Throughout his professional journey, David has gained valuable experience in construction management and execution. In these firsthand experiences on the construction site, David got to know the challenges of finding qualified staff and driving the adoption of new digital technologies in the industry. His passion for innovation and experimentation is reflected in different automation/digitization projects, both in the construction sector and other industry branches.
Dr.-Ing. Björn Riedel
was an associate researcher at the IGP and supports one of the doctoral researchers in the field of Engineering Geodesy.
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. Sc. Tom Rothe
is investigating the usability of prefabricated fibre reinforcement produced in a robotic winding process for different AM methods. He’s developing an automated production process of the fibre reinforcement for the special needs of the project. This includes the investigation of the most suitable reinforcement geometry, the build-up of a dynamic winding machine and the integration of it into a robotic winding process.
Prof. Dr. Nicolas Roussel AMC-MERCATOR-FELLOW
AMC-Mercator-Fellow Prof. Dr. Nicolas Roussel is in charge of the research activities dealing with rheology and processing of construction materials at the Navier Laboratory, FRANCE. He is the founding editor of the RILEM technical letters journal, president of the RILEM association and has received in 2007 the Robert L'Hermite award for his work on rheology of fresh concrete. With a Thompson Reuters H-index of 54 and more than 8.000 citations, he is the author or co-author of more than 130 papers in scientific journals such as Cement and Concrete Research, Physical Review letters or Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics. His research focus spreads from concrete rheology and rheometry to the understanding of construction processing technologies. Thereby his work covers various technology readiness levels and includes mixing and dispersion, centrifugation and granulation, vibration and compaction, molding, spraying and coating along with automation in construction. In 2022, Nicolas Roussel was appointed as AMC-Mercator-Fellow by the TRR 277 AMC in honor of his contribution to the AMC. Within the context of its AMC cooperation, he recently contributed to a workshop on “Materials and Processes in Additive Manufacturing” at TUBS, having the opportunity to see and discuss the research results and outputs of several AMC PhD and post doc researchers. This intensive exchange has led to the planning of a number of joint and collective publications dealing with the rheology and thixotropy of cement-based materials. According to Nicolas Roussel, the cooperation with the AMC as AMC-Mercator-Fellow "offers the opportunity to directly interact with high-level PhD students also in the coming years and thus to foster the AMC's strategic topics for the European industry". As a result of the above interactions, Prof. Dirk Lowke and Prof. Nicolas Roussel are planning for the submission of Franco-German ANR/DFG research project.
M. Eng. Ronny Scharf-Wildenhain
is a research associate at the Chair of Welding Engineering at Chemnitz University of Technology. His focus is additive manufacturing with wire and arc (DED-Arc). He is particularly concerned with process control and the properties of additively manufactured components made of high-strength filler materials.
