Deepika Raghu

Deepika Raghu also works with the Circular Future Cities Lab within the  Future Cities Laboratory at the Singapore-ETH Centre, contributing to circular urban design frameworks. She is a member of the Center for Augmented Computational Design in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (Design++) Lab, developing computational tools and processes using artificial intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Extended Reality (XR). Deepika has also recieved several academic grants supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and ETH for Development (ETH4D), addressing challenges in material reuse and digital transformation in both high income and low- and middle-income countries. In addition, Deepika is an active collaborater with the Digital Circular Economy Lab (DiCE Lab), a knowledge-sharing platform for circular construction. Deepika Raghu was also a visiting research scholar at Stanford University’s Gradient Spaces Lab, where she focused on developing multi-modal AI systems for circular construction. ​

After completing a Bachelor of Architecture at Siddaganga Institute of Technology (SIT) in India, where Deepika's thesis focused on sustainable urban infrastructure, she pursued a Master’s in Advanced Architecture at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC), Spain where she explored buildings as material banks using ML techniques. Prior to this, Deepika worked as an architect at Space Matrix Architects and Mindspace Architects in Bangalore, India.
