About

Selen Ercan Jenny is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of architecture, robotics, and digital fabrication, whose work is redefining how buildings are constructed and maintained. Her primary research areas include on-site robotic construction, human-machine collaboration, and adaptive thin-layer printing for architectural surfaces. Jenny’s most significant contribution is the development of Interactive Robotic Plastering (IRoP), a system that integrates interactive design tools, augmented reality interfaces, and robotic spraying to allow designers and skilled workers to intuitively guide in-situ plastering processes. Her work on Robotic Plaster Spraying (RPS) has advanced continuous, mobile thin-layer printing, enabling the creation of bespoke, full-scale cementitious plasterwork directly on building sites—a departure from traditional prefabrication. With her most-cited paper garnering 54 citations and several others accumulating 20–30 citations, Jenny’s research has already made a tangible impact. Notably, she has explored the use of mobile robots for building maintenance and repair, addressing critical barriers to 3D printing in existing contexts. Her achievements include demonstrating 1:1 scale applications of adaptive thin-layer printing and developing online synchronization methods for building models during mobile robotic construction, bridging the gap between digital design and physical execution.
