We are thrilled to announce Fabian Fritz as the newest member of our research department!

Fabian holds a master’s degree from the Technische Universität Wien, where he completed his thesis under the guidance of Johann Kollegger and Franz Untermarzoner. He focused on analysing the application limits of a multi-span post-tensioned LT bridge through a parametric design approach.

Following his academic achievements, Fabian worked at FCP Fritsch, Chiari & Partner ZT GmbH, specializing in railway infrastructure projects. He contributed to the design of slab tracks, mass-spring systems, and adjacent underground structures. In addition, he played a pivotal role in leading the digitalization of the railway department at FCP as the 'Digital Lead'.

For his doctoral studies under the guidance of Tobias H. and Patrick Huber, Fabian will be focusing on additive manufacturing (3D printing) of reinforced concrete objects.

Outside of his professional life, Fabian enjoys playing both the guitar and piano, traveling as well as exploring the world of CAD modelling. He even has four 3D printers at home (FDM and SLA).

“I am truly grateful for the opportunity to join the research unit of structural concrete at the institute of structural engineering. It is exciting to merge my passion for 3D printing with my academic research. I am eager to contribute my practical experience and to advance the field of civil engineering through this innovative research.”
