Edvard P.G. Bruun

Dr. Edvard Bruun joined the faculty in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology in August 2024. He completed his Ph.D. (2024) in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Princeton University. Dr. Bruun is also a licensed professional engineer in Canada and worked as a structural engineer at Arup before pursuing his Ph.D.

Dr. Bruun’s research focus is on robotic automation for assembling and disassembling large-scale building components. Dr. Bruun develops computational methods to design geometrically intricate yet materially efficient structures that specifically require robotic fabrication methods to construct. He leverages the spatial precision and multifunctionality of cooperative multi-robot systems, coordinating multiple industrial robotic arms to perform complex tasks, such as providing temporary structural support while adding or removing components.
