Philipp Kragl

Philipp KragI is a research associate at the Institute for Computational Design and Construction (ICD) at the University of Stuttgart, where he is developing robotic systems for the research area of Distributed Robotics.

Prior to joining ICD, Philipp did his professional training at Trumpf SE & Co. KG., where he worked as a mechatronics engineer on the laser preamplifier of the state-of-the-art "Extreme Ultra Violet" Radiation System (EUV). He obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree in Industrial Design from Hochschule für Gestaltung Pforzheim. During his studies, he completed an internship at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) at the Center of Applied Aeronautical Research (ZAL) in Hamburg. His bachelor's thesis was developed in collaboration with Porsche, at which he continued to work in the computational design team during the completion of his master's studies.

Philipp graduated from the M.Sc. Program Integrative Technologies and Architectural Design Research (ITECH) at the University of Stuttgart. His master's thesis together with Matthew Johnson and Michael Tucker introduced a novel Collective Robotic Construction (CRC) system for amorphous construction.
