CV

PhD student working with projects in robotics and digital fabrication with a focus on non-linear (feedback driven) fabrication processes.

In the research project Eurostars SelectiCa, a collaboration between the LTH Robot Lab and Proxima Centauri ApS. Responsibilities included project management, software and hardware prototyping and development, academic writing and experimentation.

Working with the research project Biomimetic fabrication through robotic 3D-printing. Research conducted in a collaboration between the Department of Architecture & Built Environment, the Department of Automatic Control and the Construction Robotics lab. Responsibilities included project management, software and hardware prototyping and development, academic writing and experimentation.

In the research project Digitalisation and Standardisation for Customized Mass Production, a collaboration between the Department of Automatic Control, IUC Syd/IUC lab and SWEP international. Responsibilities included project management, software and hardware prototyping and development, academic writing and experimentation.

Full scale on site construction of clay wall for SEMusicLab in Bern.

Code documentation and testing, assistance in acoustic experiments.

3D-printer repair and maintenance.

Ten month internship working mostly in residential projects from proposal to tender.

Assisting and teaching in digital tool courses for architecture students in year 1–3.

Four week full-time internship in 2016 and an additional four weeks in 2017.

Meristem Wall is a prototype of a fully 3d printed building envelope. It is made using sand binder jetting by Voxeljet and Sandhelden, complemented by a custom CNC knitted fabric developed and fabricated in collaboration with Dr. Mariana Popescu of Block Research Group at ETH Zürich. The wall is designed using an interdependent model that negotiates the space and relationship between a wide range of functions including utilities such as electric wiring, aesthetic preferences, structural performance, and bioclimatic considerations. This self-organising simulation is capable of creating unique compositions of space to fit a wide range of context and functional needs.

A circular undulating clay wall 5 m high with a 6 m radius built using a method of robotic clay aggregation developed at MAS DFAB and in my thesis project Adaptive Clay Formations. The project was preceded by the construction of a full scale prototype of a quarter of final design in Brunnen, Switzerland. The wall is built to surround a acoustic lab built in a new co-working space in the Gurtenbrauerei in Bern.

MAS DFAB thesis project where a robotic clay aggregation method developed at MAS DFAB were further explored and refined. The project resulted in a 3.2 m long and 1.2 m high wall segment built using a six axis industrial robot mounted on a movable platform, and built with the robot re-localized three times. In this project we refined robot end effector, we experimented with feedback driven fabrication and trajectory planning for the robotic arm. The project was undertaken by Edurne Morales Zúñiga and myself with tutors David Jenny, Coralie Ming, Nicolas Feihl & Gonzalo Casas at Gramazio Kohler Research, ETH Zürich.

40 m² pavilion made out of straight bamboo members and bespoke 3D-printed nylon joints. Designed and built by the whole class of MAS DFAB 19/20, project led by Marirena Kladeftira at Digital Building Technologies, ETH Zürich.

Research project into bio-mimetics and clay printing where a method of discrete depositions of clay globules using an off-the-shelf 3D printer was developed. With Erik Hildorsson at Spatial Experiments, a studio led by David Andréen & Ana Goidea.
