Biography
Professor Wassim Jabi is the course director of the MSc Computational Methods in Architecture programme at the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University in Wales, the United Kingdom. He earned his M.Arch. and Ph.D. from the University of Michigan and taught at various universities in the U.S. before moving to the UK in 2008. While teaching in the U.S., he secured a $250,000 (USD) National Science Foundation (NSF) grant as Primary Investigator. Professor Jabi has published widely on topics ranging from parametric and generative design to the role of light in architecture and building performance simulation. He has authored a book titled "Parametric Design for Architecture" (Laurence King Publishing, London). In 2013, Professor Jabi won £70,000 (GBP) in funding from the university's internal competitive funding scheme to purchase a large 6-axis high accuracy industrial robot to investigate innovative digital fabrication processes. His current research is at the intersection parametric design, the representation of space, building performance simulation, machine learning, and robotic fabrication in architecture. Professor Jabi has recently concluded a £300,000 (GBP) grant from the Leverhulme Trust as Primary Investigator to study spatial topology in building information modelling (BIM). This resulted in a software library called Topologic (http://topologic.app).
