TUM University Foundation Fellowship Holders

TUM Chair: Associate Professorship of Urban Design, Prof. Dr. Benedikt Boucsein

TUM Department: Department of Architecture

Academic Career and Research Areas: Dr. Eirini Kasioumi was trained as an architect and urban planner in Greece (NTUA, Athens) and the USA (MIT, Cambridge MA) respectively. Her early academic research concerned planning processes associated with the implementation of sustainability goals in neighborhood development projects. Between 2012-2019, she pursued a doctorate at the Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich in Switzerland, where she became part of the research platform “Airports and Cities” that studied the interaction between major airports and their urban regions. In her doctoral research, she examined the evolution of planning rationales for airport areas, especially the spatial management of contrasting airport impacts. Dr. Eirini Kasioumi has also been involved in research and teaching on topics like large-scale urban projects, metropolitan planning strategies, infrastructural landscapes, and urban design theory. Further, she has worked as an architect, urban designer and planner on a variety of scales.

As part of TUM, she is interested in pursuing further research on major transport infrastructures and their impacts on metropolitan space, as well as on design and planning strategies promoting adaptation given the prospects of climate change.
