| Brief description of the Centre/Research Group (Please provide a brief description of your research group or organisational unit, including research infrastructure, laboratory facilities, team size and industry collaborations.) | Researcher conducts design-driven research at the intersection of computational design, robotic fabrication, and human–robot collaboration in the built environment. Her work explores how emerging technologies, particularly robotics, AI-supported systems, and digital fabrication, can enable new forms of sustainable construction, circular material practices, and knowledge exchange across disciplines. Through experimental prototyping and interdisciplinary collaborations, she develops intuitive robotic workflows that connect technological innovation with design practice, cultural knowledge, and socially sustainable construction. |
