Amin Adelzadeh

Amin Adelzadeh is a Lecturer in Architecture at the Augsburg Technical University of Applied Sciences, where he works within the Architecture and Civil Engineering faculty. He is actively engaged in research through the federally-funded 'Timber Structure Interface (TSI)' project, supported by The Agency for Renewable Resources e. V. (FNR) in Germany.

Dr. Adelzadeh has established an international academic career with research and teaching positions at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, Bremen University of Applied Sciences, Technical University of Kaiserslautern, University of Mazandaran, and Politecnico Di Milano. His educational background includes a Master of Science degree in Architecture from Politecnico Di Milano in Italy, where he received merit-based scholarships.

His research focuses on sustainable digital timber construction with expertise spanning zero-waste approaches, circular systems, reusable structures, and advanced fabrication techniques. Dr. Adelzadeh has developed significant expertise in timber systems, automated joinery, robotic fabrication, and data interface modeling for structural analysis.

Analysis of his recent publications (2022-2023) reveals a strong focus on innovative timber construction systems, particularly hybrid shell structures, joint systems for segmented timber plates, and computational workflows for complex geometries. His work consistently bridges architectural design with structural engineering and advanced digital fabrication methods.

• Recipient of several merit-based scholarships

Dr. Adelzadeh maintains an active presence in the international research community, having presented at major conferences including ACADIA, CAADRIA, eCAADe, and the International Mass Timber Conference. He has curated academic lecture series featuring prominent educators from institutions like Columbia University, TU Delft, and University of Stuttgart. His teaching encompasses design studios, technical workshops on timber prefabrication, and international conference presentations.

His current research group focuses on developing circular construction systems for material-efficient assembly of reusable lightweight timber structures using defective short solid beams, representing a significant contribution to sustainable building practices.
