About

Dejan Mitov’s research sits at the intersection of biomimetic design, digital fabrication, and robotic construction. His most cited work, “An application of the shark skin denticle geometry for windbreak fence design and fabrication” (16 citations), demonstrates his ability to translate biological principles into functional architectural elements, using shark skin’s drag-reducing properties to inform windbreak structures. Mitov further pushes the boundaries of fabrication with his work on “Fabrication of Digital Anamorphic Sculptures with Industrial Robot” (6 citations), showcasing how industrial robotics can produce complex, perspective-correct artworks. A key contribution is his research on “Case Specific Robotic Fabrication of Foam Shell Structures” (3 citations), where he pioneered the use of expanded polystyrene (EPS) as a non-standard material for free-form shell construction. This work challenges conventional material assumptions, proposing a construction-aware design approach that leverages EPS’s lightweight, formable properties. With a total of 25 citations across his top papers, Mitov’s impact is evident in his ability to merge biological inspiration with robotic precision, offering novel pathways for sustainable, custom-fabricated architecture. His achievements highlight a forward-thinking practice that redefines how materials and machines can collaborate.
