Nikoletta Christidi is a post-doctoral researcher and research associate at the Institute for Computational Design (ICD) at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. She received a Diploma in Architectural Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) and a Master of Science in Building Technology from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft).
Before joining ICD, she worked as a Doctoral Researcher at TU Delft under the supervision of Prof. Mariana Popescu and Prof. Christian Louter. Her doctoral research focused on developing experimental and computational methods for the design of tailored CNC‑knitted textiles for tensile structures and flexible formworks. During her PhD, she contributed to internationally recognised projects, including the Necto pavilion for the Venice Biennale of Architecture (2025) and the KnitNervi pavilion at the MAXXI National Museum of 21st Century Arts in Rome (2022). She has also worked as a Technical Lead and Software Developer at Packhunt in Amsterdam, and gained architectural experience in several offices in Athens, Greece.
Her work has been published in venues such as IASS Annual Symposia, Construction and Building Materials, and Architectural Intelligence. She has taught and supervised students at TU Delft, the University of Stuttgart, and international summer schools, with a focus on computational design, digital fabrication, and material‑driven workflows.
At ICD, she works on integrative computational design and engineering methods for novel hybrid bio‑fibre timber composite systems. Her research interests include fabrication‑informed architectural and structural design, digital fabrication, tensile structures, and novel material systems.
