TUM School of Engineering and Design

TUM School of Engineering and Design TUM School of Engineering and Design (ED) der Technischen Universität München (TUM) We believe that entrepreneurship and social responsibility go hand in hand.

TUM School of Engineering and Design (ED) at Technical University of Munich (TUM) carries out world-class research and teaching at the interface of engineering and design. Established on 1st October 2021 from a merger of five former faculties, it bundles its competencies at the campuses Munich, Garching and Ottobrunn/Taufkirchen in eight departments: Aerospace & Geodesy, Architecture, Civil and En

vironmental Engineering, Energy and Process Engineering, Engineering Physics and Computation, Mechanical Engineering, Mobility Systems Engineering und Materials Engineeringy. Our unique blend of engineering and design programs enables us to train students who can impact the entire lifecycle of the built environment, from planning to design to construction. Our job is to channel their enthusiasm for innovation and technology into real products by providing them with the construction and management skills they need. Our school represents an inclusive and enthusiastic community of staff, students and professional partners who recognise that what they do, design and develop will have a lasting impact on the fabric of society. Joining this school is your opportunity to leave a tangible imprint on our neighbourhoods of the future – locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. The quality of the professional experience and expertise of the staff in the School – and the industry links and connections they facilitate – will help you forge a meaningful understanding of how to plan, design, construct, protect and maintain the world around us. And how together we can collaborate with industry to make a real-world difference.

„Artistic practice is an anti-convergent strategy,“ says Sophie Erlund, our new Professor for Arts in Architecture .tum . With a background in fine art, interdisciplinary research, and over a decade , she explores the intersection of sculpture, space, and artificial intelligence. Rather than replacing creativity, she sees AI as a tool for critical engagement and new artistic possibilities.

At TUM, Prof. Erlund aims to expand the boundaries of sculpture, integrating immersive technologies while fostering a space for questioning, experimentation, and open-ended exploration.
In our latest interview of the series „Appointment with...“ , she shares more about her vision, artistic journey, and thoughts on AI in creative practice.

Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and coastal erosion threaten many coastal regions worldwide. An international study, led by TUM visiting researcher and doctoral candidate Sara Fouad in collaboration with , , and other global partners, investigates the hydroclimatic causes of building collapses along the southern Mediterranean coasts.

The study, published in the prestigious journal „Earth’s Future“, not only identifies key risk factors but also presents adaptive landscape strategies to protect vulnerable coastal communities. These strategies deeply rooted in landscape architecture and urban planning, emphasize nature-based approaches, resilient infrastructures, and sustainable coastal management.

Dr. Sandra Persiani, postdoctoral researcher .tum, has been awarded with the Laura Bassi Fellowship 2024-25 for her innovative research on improving indoor microbial diversity using plants. Congratulations!

Her project investigates how non-flowering indoor plants can enhance microbial diversity in office spaces and its potential impact on human health. The research, conducted in collaboration with experts from TUM and LMU, addresses the critical role of indoor environments in human well-being.

The Laura Bassi Fellowship, funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of Sciences and the Arts, supports groundbreaking work by female researchers in a variety of disciplines.

As part of the CoDa (Concrete Damage Assessment) group, an interdisciplinary team of researchers — including experts from our .munich — has developed a new ultrasound method to assess the load-bearing capacity of concrete bridges. This non-destructive technique offers a more efficient and cost-effective way to evaluate and maintain critical infrastructure, ensuring long-term safety and stability.

The method has already been successfully tested on the Scheidplatz subway station in Munich, demonstrating its potential for real-world applications.

Supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG), this collaboration highlights the importance of teamwork and innovation in solving key engineering challenges.

The Collaborative Research Centre Transregio (AMC) gathered for a five-day Summer School at Lake Ammersee: In addition to an intensive exchange of 80 researchers, students of the cooperating universities .braunschweig and .muenchen presented their results from the seminar "From Additive Manufacturing to Architecture".
The AMC Summer School not only highlighted accomplished research goals, but also provided a fresh breeze to the AMC and motivated all participants for the upcoming 2nd phase.
is part of the AMC with numerous researchers from eleven different chairs. Main objective of the interdisciplinary project is to fundamentally research additive manufacturing (3D printing) as a novel digital manufacturing technology for construction.

A multifunctional patch for wound healing was developed by researchers led by Professor Oliver Lieleg and his co-author Professor Petra Mela. The plaster is made of film and not only protects wounds like a band-aid. It also accelerates wound healing, repels bacteria, inhibits inflammation and dissolves completely and without residue after a few days.

Ein multifunktionales Pflaster zur Wundheilung entwickelten Forscher um Professor Oliver Lieleg und seine Co-Autorin Professor Petra Mela. Das Pflaster ist aus und schützt Wunden nicht nur wie ein Pflaster. Es beschleunigt zudem die , weist ab, hemmt und löst sich nach einigen Tagen vollständig und rückstandsfrei auf.
