Jiaying Wei

Jiaying (Vina) Wei is a Ph.D. Candidate in Computational Design at Carnegie Mellon University School of Architecture. Her research focuses on architectural robotics, robotic perception, and heterogeneous multi-robot construction workflows. Her work develops computational design-to-fabrication methods that connect robotic planning, sensing, and material assembly. She is particularly interested in how robots can operate in less structured construction environments through perception, coordination, and adaptive planning. Vina’s research and teaching explore topics including multi-robot fabrication, human-robot collaboration, mobile manipulation, perception-based assembly, robotic motion planning, and design-to-fabrication workflows. She works across architectural design, robotics, and computation, with a focus on how robotic systems can support construction-scale material processes.
