About me
Nusrat Tabassum is a fifth-year doctoral candidate in Architecture at Penn State, where she researches how advanced computation and robotic fabrication can transform contemporary building practices. Her work centers on 3D concrete printing, with a focus on achieving formwork‑free construction for roof systems such as vaults and arches. Through simulation‑driven design workflows and innovative printing strategies, she aims to reduce construction waste, cost, and environmental impact while expanding the capabilities of automated building systems.
She holds a master's degree in Advanced Architecture from the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia in Spain and a bachelor's degree in Architecture from Bangladesh. Nusrat also has professional experience as both an architect and an educator in several international contexts. After completing her doctorate at Penn State, she hopes to continue researching and teaching at the intersection of architecture, construction technology, and sustainable housing.
