Biography
Julien is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Chair of Timber Construction, with core expertise in digital fabrication, civil engineering and sustainable building systems. His doctoral research on novel timber construction systems using the best of automation and engineered wood products was funded by the National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) Digital Fabrication. He currently focuses his research on human-centered technologies and human-machine collaborations to develop hybrid manufacturing environments for timber construction.Education
