Deepika Raghu

Deepika Raghu is a researcher at the Chair for Circular Engineering for Architecture (CEA) at ETH Zurich. Her work focuses on digitalizing existing buildings to advance circular economy principles in the built environment.

• Studied architecture at Siddaganga Institute of Technology (SIT)
• Masters in Advanced Architecture at Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC)

Research explores leveraging artificial intelligence, computer vision, and non-proprietary datasets to analyze buildings for material reuse. Investigates preventing obsolescence through digital workflows and urban-scale resource mapping.

Recent publications highlight 5D digital circular workflows, material passports, and AI-driven tools for circular construction. Utilizes Google Street View and demolition audit data to enhance building databases.
