Wassim Jabi

Professor Wassim Jabi is a Chair in Computational Methods in Architecture at the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University. His work bridges computational design, digital fabrication, and sustainable building technologies, focusing on graph machine learning, non-manifold topology, and blockchain integration in architectural workflows. As a course leader for the MSc in Computational Methods in Architecture, he supervises postgraduate research and contributes to International Journal of Architectural Computing as an editorial board member.

• Research themes:
  • Graph-based architectural modeling
  • 3D printing with earthen materials
  • Autism-informed design taxonomies
  • Blockchain for decentralized design
  • Machine learning in building performance
  • Robotic fabrication workflows

Recent publications analyze energy efficiency through graph ML, explore biomimetic façades for arid climates, and develop topological BIM frameworks. His team's VIRIS simulator combines architectural design with pandemic risk analysis. He serves as an external examiner at the University of Liverpool and University of East London.
