Andre Borrmann

Andre Borrmann is Professor and Chair of Computing in Civil and Building Engineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), where he leads cutting-edge research at the intersection of computer science and construction engineering. His work spans over two decades with consistent publication output since 2003, demonstrating sustained academic leadership in computational methods for the built environment.

His research focuses on:

• Building Information Modeling (BIM) and its advanced applications
• Digital Twin development for infrastructure management
• Point cloud processing and semantic enrichment
• Artificial intelligence integration in construction workflows
• Construction automation and robotics systems

Analysis of his 2023-2025 publications shows a clear trend toward sophisticated AI applications in construction engineering, with increasing emphasis on graph neural networks, transformer models, and large language models. His work bridges theoretical computer science with practical construction challenges, particularly in model automation, code compliance checking, and digital documentation of existing structures.

Scientific recognition includes:

• Konrad Zuse Medal (2024)

Professor Borrmann leads multiple significant research initiatives including AM2PM (Additive to Predictive Manufacturing for Multistorey Construction), AI4CADCAM (AI-based CAD processing), and BauPuls360 (a public service platform for the construction industry). His research group maintains extensive international collaborations across academia and industry, contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to sustainable cities, industry innovation, and climate action through their technological advancements in construction engineering.
