Amir Hossein is a Ph.D. student in Architecture at Pennsylvania State University, specializing in Design Computing. His research focuses on computational design methods and digital fabrication, particularly in the area of additive manufacturing of concrete structures. This work aims to enhance automation in construction and promote sustainable architectural practices, reflecting his commitment to innovation in the field.

Before pursuing his doctoral studies at Penn State, Amir gained six years of experience as an architectural and computational designer in Iran. During this time, he worked on various projects involving design optimization, complex 3D modeling, and computational workflows. This professional background has provided him with a strong understanding of how parametric design tools like Grasshopper can be effectively applied in real-world architectural practices.

In addition to his research and practical experience, Amir has been teaching computational design software, including Grasshopper and its ecosystem of plugins, for several years. Through workshops and educational initiatives, he aims to share his knowledge and expertise, helping participants unlock the full potential of Grasshopper in their design practices and research projects.
