Speaker: Wassim Jabi
Dr. Wassim Jabi earned his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. While in the U.S., he lead the Association for Computer-Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA), secured a $250,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, and taught at various universities before moving to Europe in 2008. He is currently a Reader (tenured Associate Professor) at the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University where he leads the digital design area. Dr. Jabi has published widely on topics ranging from parametric and generative design to the role of light in architecture and building performance simulation. He is a member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Architectural Computing (IJAC). Dr. Jabi has written a book titled "Parametric Design for Architecture" (Laurence King Publishing, London). His current research is at the intersection of parametric design, the representation of space, building performance simulation, and robotic fabrication in architecture. Dr. Jabi has recently secured a significant grant to investigate innovative and sustainable 3D printing of large-scale architectural components and structures using the school’s industrial robotic arm.
