Dr. Wassim Jabi earned his B.Arch. from the American University of Beirut and his M.Arch. and Ph.D. in architecture from the University of Michigan. Dr. Jabi's research interests and expertise are at the intersection of parametric design, the representation of space, building performance simulation, and robotic fabrication in architecture. During the period 1996 to 2008, among other academic activities, Dr. Jabi led the Association for Computer-Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA), secured a $250,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to study design creativity, and taught at various universities before moving to the UK in 2008. He is currently a Senior Lecturer (tenured Associate Professor) at the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University where he leads the digital design area. Dr. Jabi has published widely on topics ranging from parametric and generative design to the role of light in architecture and building performance simulation. He is a member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Architectural Computing (IJAC). In 2013, Dr. Jabi wrote and published a book titled “Parametric Design for Architecture” (Laurence King Publishing, London). In the same year, Dr. Jabi secured a £70,000 ($100,000 USD) grant to purchase a large 6-axis high accuracy industrial robot to investigate innovative digital fabrication processes of architectural components and structures and has since published several papers on his research. In 2016, Dr. Jabi secured a £300,000 ($420,000 USD) grant from the Leverhulme Trust for a Research Project Grant titled “Enhancing the representation of architectural space in 3D modelling environments”. In this project, the team will develop a conceptual framework and schema for the hierarchical and cellular spatial representation of buildings through a concept called non-manifold topology and a set of algorithms and tools that test the potential of this approach. They will conduct four use case scenarios in the areas of: Energy Analysis, Structural Analysis, Spatial Reasoning, and Fabrication Planning.
