de Wolf
Catherine De Wolf is an Assistant Professor at ETH Zurich. She conducts research on efficient, environmentally compatible construction processes. Her work has a particular emphasis on the processing and recycling of waste products. Her professorship will build on synergies with the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering and deepen links with the Department of Architecture. Within the NCCR DFAB she will bring expertise of construction and circular economy into the research on Digital Fabrication.
Work Topic
At the boundary of architecture and structure, my research critically reviews the sustainability of the built environment, with a particular focus on circular economy in construction. I collaborate with academic institutions as well as design practices including Arup, Elioth, Arup, and Ney & Partners.
