Lidia Atanasova, Dipl.-Ing

Lidia Atanasova is an architect and researcher in computational design and digital fabrication. She studied at ITECH (Integrative Technologies and Architectural Design Research) at the University of Stuttgart as a visiting student and at TU Vienna, where she received her Master's degree in architecture. She worked as a student assistant and later as a project assistant at the Institute of Art and Design at TU Vienna and as an intern in architectural and interdisciplinary offices in Stuttgart and Vienna.

In October 2019, she joined the research group for Digital Fabrication as a scientific researcher to teach and pursue her doctoral research. Her doctoral thesis focuses on Human-Robot Cooperative Assembly and aims to develop a fabrication-aware design methodology that enables coordinated and adaptive assembly processes in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) contexts. This research is part of, and supported by, the TUM Innovation Network “CoConstruct”, which explores novel collaboration concepts between humans and machines to improve productivity, resource efficiency, and process reliability in the AEC domain.
