I am a Romanian-born architect specializing in computational design and automated construction for lightweight composite structures. I studied architectural engineering at the TUDelft and at the University of Stuttgart, where I earned my PhD in 2022, contributing to the award-winning projects BUGA Fibre Pavilion (2019) and LivMatS Pavilion (2021).
Joining ETH in 2021 at the Block Research Group, I served as a postdoctoral researcher on flexible formworks and digitalization within the NCCR Digital Fabrication, contributing to KnitNervi (2022) and the Phoenix Bridge (2023).
I presently coordinate Urban Biocycles Mycelium Digitalisation (BIO), a research programme on mycelium-bound composites for the Singapore-ETH Centre.
In my spare time, I am a passionate hiker and mountaineer. Check below, to see some of the places I’ve explored. Enjoy!
