Deepika is a PhD researcher in the Chair of Circular Engineering for Architecture (CEA) at ETH Zurich. Her interests lie at the intersection of architecture, technology, and innovation to help transition to a circular economy. Her research explores the notion of a digitally aided, 'circular' city that can effectively manage building resources and reduce waste. She is currently working towards detecting materials and components in existing buildings using remote sensing and machine learning algorithms to identify where and when these materials will be available for reuse.

Florian has over 10 years of experience in sustainable construction with a strong focus on life cycle assessment, material health and the implementation of sustainability strategies in the value chain. He is responsible for the development and implementation of the decarbonization strategy at GROPYUS, which focuses on product decarbonization on the one hand and decarbonization of the organization on the other hand. A very large part of the value chain lies in the organization itself, ranging from the development of the projects to the production of the elements, the construction activity and also the operation with its own operating system. In doing so, he drives the data-based consideration and optimization of the environmental impacts over the complete life cycle. Above all, the comparison of the measures that positively influence the operation must also be evaluated more precisely in the upstream chains, so that the shifts in the life cycle do not have too much impact on the environment.

‍

In addition to his work at GROPYUS, Florian lectures sustainable construction at the TH Rosenheim, where he teaches the students not only about general sustainability topics in the construction sector, but also about the life cycle assessment of products.
