Professor Dr. Antiopi Koronaki

Biography

Antiopi Koronaki is an Assistant Professor in Design Computation and Fabrication in the Department of Architecture at the University of Cambridge and a member of the Centre for Natural Material Innovation. She focuses on the intersection of architecture, engineering, and materials, with a particular emphasis on decarbonization of the built environment. Utilizing advanced fabrication and computational analysis methods, she develops new frameworks for designing efficient structures. Antiopi collaborates with industry to bridge the gap between academic research and practice, aiming to create computational tools and fabrication workflows that are directly applicable in the industry. Prior to her role as Assistant Professor, she was a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Natural Material Innovation at the University of Cambridge, exploring the use of engineered timber in schools across the UK to reduce the environmental impact of construction. She holds a PhD from the University of Bath, focusing on the optimization of complex space-frame structures. Since 2014, she has been actively involved in higher education and has contributed to international workshops focusing on digital fabrication. Her industry experience includes work with the bridge team at Wilkinson Eyre, and her projects have been exhibited at various notable events such as the London Design Festival.
