Bio: Dr. Arash Adel is the founder and director of ARG. He is an assistant professor at the School of Architecture and an associated faculty of the Department of Computer Science at Princeton University. Prior to joining Princeton University in 2023, Adel was an assistant professor of Architecture at the University of Michigan. Adel received his Doctorate in Architecture from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) and his Master’s in Architecture from Harvard University. 

Adel’s research interests include construction robotics, human-robot collaboration, automated building assembly, additive manufacturing, computational design, and STEM education. He is particularly known for his work with novel integrative computational design methods coupled with robotic assembly techniques for manufacturing nonstandard timber buildings and structures. His experience includes numerous widely-published projects such as the DFAB HOUSE located in Dubendorf, Switzerland, and, more recently, the Robotically Fabricated Structure (RFS) timber pavilion sited at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.
