李飚教授，全国建筑数字技术教学工作委员会副主任，中国建筑学会计算性设计学术委员会副主任，中国建筑学会数字建造学术委员会理事，主要从事建筑设计数字技术相关理论方法研究与教学工作。李飚教授曾获瑞士联邦理工大学（ETH, Zurich）高级硕士学位、东南大学建筑学博士学位（2010年获全国优秀博士论文提名），并于2009-2013年在瑞士联邦理工大学攻读博士后。他曾在国内外各类学术期刊和会议发表论文40余篇，主持国家自然科学基金3项，参与重点基金1项，并主持科技部“十三五”国家重点研发计划子课题。 Li Biao serves as the deputy director of National Architectural Digital Technology Teaching Committee, the deputy director of Computational Design Committee of the Architectural Society of China, and the director of Digital Construction Committee of the Architectural Society of China. He is mostly engaged in the research and teaching of the theories and methods related to digital technologies for architectural design. Li Biao obtained an advanced master’s degree from Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETH, Zurich), a doctor’s degree in architecture from Southeast University (nominated for National Excellent Doctoral Dissertation in 2010), and engaged in postdoctoral research in Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETHZ) between 2009-2013. He has published more than 40 papers on various academic journals or at various conferences at home and abroad. He has led three national programs funded by NSFC, participated in one key funded program and led one sub-project of the national key R&D plan of the Ministry of Science and Technology during the 13th Five-year Plan Period. 李飚教授的研究方向为：建筑数字生成设计、“数字链”一体化数控建造等，尝试将算法生成设计方法转化到实际工程。他的作品——南京青奥会国际风情街幕墙设计曾获江苏省优秀工程设计二等奖和优秀勘察设计二等奖。自2015年至今，李飚教授完成了大量数字构筑物的编码与建造工作，如印象太湖石、龙舟记忆、空影阑珊、汤山矿坑公园步行桥、成都安仁南岸美村“林·盘”设计与建造等。同时，他也在积极探索深度学习与大数据在城市设计中的运用。 In terms of achievements, owing to his attempts on converting the algorithm generation design methods into the physical projects, Li Biao was entrusted to develop the design for the curtain wall of the international street for Nanjing Youth Olympic Games, which, in 2016, won the second prize for excellent engineering design and the second prize for excellent survey design of Jiangsu Province. Since 2015, he has completed the coding and construction of a number of digital structures, including the design and construction of Impression of Taihu Stone, Memory of Dragon Boat, Empty Shadow, pedestrian bridge in Tangshan Quarry Park, OCT Southbank Village “Lin Pan” in Anren, Chengdu, etc.

Virginia Melnyk is a educator, designer, and researcher. Her work explores computational design for textiles, temporary structures, and transformable structures. Her work explores computational methods for fabrication, design simulation, and novel design topologies. She works with a unique workflow that encompasses a feedback loop between digital and physical studies. And addresses themes of playfulness, whimsy, and color in her designs. She has exhibited her work at art events in Boston, Toronto, Beijing, Buffalo, Cincinnati, and more. She has received many awards and publications for her work. Including a bronze A' design award in 2021, Young CAADRIA award, and short list for the creative industries Pittsburg award. She is currently a PhD student of the Digital FUTURES international PhD program at Tongji University in Shanghai. She received her bachelor degree from the University at Buffalo and her Masters in Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania Weitzman School of Design. Currently she is a lecturer at Clemson University, and organizational team member of DigitalFUTURES.
