My name is Petras Vestartas. I hold BA, MA degrees in architecture from VAA (Lithuania). I finished PhD at Laboratory for Timber Constructions IBOIS, EPFL (Switzerland) focused on digital timber fabrication, scanning methods and robotic tool-path planning (ABB). I am also a former researcher at CITA, KADK (Denmark). Furthermore, I worked in international offices such as Do-Architects (Lithuania), CEBRA (Denmark) and DMAA (Austria). I earned knowledge from highly interdisciplinary teams including architects, structural and mechanical engineers and computer scientists.

I taught master and bachelor students at EPFL for six years and held academic and commercial workshops. Also, I supervised Master theses projects in architecture and guided PhD students during my postdoctoral studies. I also created a new course for architects called: Introduction to Computational Architecture (EPFL AR-327). It is a weekly Python and Grasshopper course initiated by EPFL researchers. Additionally, I was responsible for setting up CNC (Maka 5-Axis) and industrial robots set-ups (ABB 6700 with IRBT 6.7 m track motion and spindle package) for IBOIS researchers.
