My expertise is in digital manufacturing with focus computational design, DfAM, development of advanced materials through robotic manufacturing using non standard materials such as ultra polymers and composites.

Through subtractive and additive robotic manufacturing, I develop the possibility of directly fabricating building components designed expanding the AEC industry.

Using robotics and automation to break typical constraints and solves common problems, for instance by implementing digital workflow in manufacturing embedded with the design process itself with integration of new materials.

Most recently, I collaborated with the European Space Agency for the development of 3D printed planetary habitat.

I am an Associate Professor in Architecture and Digital Manufacturing at London South Bank University with over 15 years of experience in digital manufacturing and robotics.

Graduated from Architectural Association in London, I trained as an architect working for Dame Zaha Hadid with focus in digital manufacturing processes in construction. In 2013, I secured a fund of £400k from HEFCE for the creation of the Digital Architecture and Robotics Lab (DARLAB) with the scope to examine the changes for architectural production with robotic manufacturing.

As founding director of DARLAB, I have developed consultancy projects for Volkswagen, Astana Energy Expo, Ars Electronica, SCM Group, Veolia, Dyson and Southwark Council exploring research topics Design for Additive Manufacturing, Circular Manufacturing, Large Scale Reinforced Polymer Structures and Robotic Advanced Manufacturing.
