Dr. Lauren Vasey

Lauren Vasey is a Postdoctoral Fellow with a focus in on-site digital fabrication and robotics, and in the NCCR Digital Fabrication within the stream “Construction Robotics.”

From 2014 to 2019, she was a Research Associate at the Institute for Computational Design and Construction (ICD) at the University of Stuttgart, where she was heavily involved in the development of the ITECH masters program, and the development of many of the award winning ICD/ITKE Research Pavilions. Her research and dissertation under the direction of Prof. Achim Menges focused on developing cyber-physical, feedback-driven robotic construction processes, investigating multi-robot and human-robot collaborative processes and their potentials in architecture and construction.

Her teaching and research have been recognized in many international competitions including the Kuka Innovation Award, in addition to AEC hackathons. She has extensive experience collaborating with external research partners including Autodesk Research and recently the European Space Agency, with whom she developed a concept for the robotic manufacturing of fibrous structures in space. Since 2016, Lauren is also an elected member of the Board of Directors of ACADIA, the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture in North America where she serves on the steering and scientific committees. Previously she received her bachelors of science in engineering from Tufts University, cum laude, and her masters in Architecture from the University of Michigan, with distinction.
