Robin Oval is a structural engineer and researcher working on the topology of structures. His doctoral and postdoctoral research journey through École des Ponts, ETH Zurich, University of Cambridge, and Princeton University led him to develop holistic digital design and construction processes, including generative design, constrained optimization, robotic fabrication, and augmented craft, with applications focusing on spanning structures, like gridshells, shells, vaults, and floors.
As an assistant professor at École des Ponts, Oval is exploring generative design methods and digital construction technologies aiming to make complex topology accessible.
