dr. msc. arch. Michela Turrin

Michela is an Associate Professor. Her work focuses on computational design for optimization to support the performance-based exploration of design alternatives for buildings and building`s components. The use of additive manufacturing is explored to produce optimized and customized components. She leads several granted and externally funded research projects with international consortia, practice and industry. She supervises PhD researchers and MSc students; and coordinates MEGA, an interdisciplinary design MSc course for Architecture, Building Technology and Civil Engineering. She was Marie Curie Fellow at Beijing University of Technology. She worked at Green World Solutions Ltd in Beijing. She taught in international events, such as the IFoU Summer School 2012 in Beijing and Winter School 2013 in Hong Kong. In 2014-2016 she was Excellent Oversea Instructor at South China University of Technology and awarded a grant by the Key State Laboratory of Subtropical Building Science. In 2012-2015 she was senior lecturer at Yasar University in Turkey.
