معرفی
Julien Nembrini is a Lecturer and Senior Researcher at the Department of Informatics within the Interfaculty of Informatics at the University of Fribourg. His roles include affiliations with the Human-IST (Human-centered Interaction Science and Technology) group and the Department of Informatics. He holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and focuses on interdisciplinary research at the intersection of human-computer interaction, robotics, and sustainable architecture.
His research interests span human-building interaction, energy-efficient lighting systems, swarm robotics, and computational design tools. Notable projects include developing smart lighting systems that balance energy efficiency with user comfort, and exploring emergent behaviors in wireless robotic swarms. He has collaborated on projects like VOILES/SAILS (self-assembling lighter-than-air robotic structures) and Source Studio (teaching programming to architects).
Recent work emphasizes user-centered approaches to technology integration, such as no-code programming for industrial robots and visual analytics for building management systems (BMS). His publications highlight interdisciplinary methods, combining simulation, machine learning, and human factors analysis.
He has contributed to book chapters on topics like low-carbon building design and swarm engineering, and has taught courses integrating computational methods with architectural and engineering practices. His work often bridges academic research with practical applications in sustainability and human-centered technology.
