Daniela Mitterberger

Daniela Mitterberger is an architect and researcher with a strong interest in new media, the relationship between the Human/Body within digital fabrication, and emerging technologies. She is co-founder and director of MAEID, a multidisciplinary architecture practice based in Vienna. Currently, Daniela is a Ph.D. researcher at ETH Zürich at Gramazio Kohler Research, focusing on intuition in digital design and robotic fabrication. Daniela is also a researcher at the University of Applied Arts and co-leader of Co-corporeality.

Lidia Atanasova

Lidia Atanasova is an architect and researcher at the Professorship for Digital Fabrication (Augmented Fabrication Lab), a research group based at the School of Engineering and Design at the Technical University of Munich. She holds a Master’s degree in Architecture from TU Vienna and was an exchange student at ITECH at the University of Stuttgart. She worked as an assistant at the Institute of Art and Design at TU Vienna and as an intern at Dietrich Untertrifaller Architekten in Vienna.

Kathrin Dörfler

Kathrin Dörfler is an architect, researcher, and educator in computational design and robotic fabrication. Kathrin’s doctoral thesis was carried out at Gramazio Kohler Research, ETH Zurich, as part of the National Centre of Competence in Research Digital Fabrication (NCCR DFAB). In July 2019, Kathrin joined the School of Engineering at the Technical University of Munich as a Tenure Track Professor to set up a research group for Digital Fabrication (Augmented Fabrication Lab) at the Department of Architecture. The research interests of her group are focused on collaborative fabrication processes, on-site robotics, and fabrication-aware design.

Timothy Sandy

Timothy Sandy received his PhD in robotics, as a part of the NCCR Digital Fabrication, in 2018. His research focuses on robotic building construction, with interests in robotic system design, state estimation and sensor fusion, motion planning and control for mobile manipulators, and visual tracking of digital building models. In 2020, he was awarded an ETH Pioneer Fellowship and is now CEO of the spinoff incon.ai to provide augmented reality guidance tools to construction workers.
