Ehsan was a research associate and doctoral candidate at the the Institute for Computational Design and Construction (ICD) at University of Stuttgart from 2010 - 2017. Along with persuing his doctoral research, he has taught seminars on computational design techniques and design thinking at the ICD since 2010.

After completing his doctoral degree, Ehsan Baharlou moved on to become Assistant Professor at University of Virginia School of Architecture. He holds a Master of Science in Architecture with distinction from the Islamic Azad University of Tehran.

His research interest was focused on the integration of fabrication and construction constraints into computational design for form generation via agent-based modeling and simulation.
