Evolute GmbH is a high-tech company founded in February 2008 as a spin-off from the research group of Prof. H. Pottmann at Vienna University of Technology. Over the past few years, Evolute has grown to a dedicated and experienced team of mathematicians, computer scientists, and architects.

Michael Eigensatz

Michael received his PhD in Computer Science from ETH Zurich, where he became the mastermind of the paneling algorithm used for computing cost-optimized panelizations of freeform surfaces. Michael joined Evolute in July 2010 and strengthens our team as experienced researcher in the EU funded IAPP project ARC.

Simon Flöry

Simon received his PhD in Mathematics from Vienna University of Technology in 2010. By insisting that production technologies and architecture share numerous similar problems, he supports our team since March 2008 in developing high-tech geometric solutions for manufacturing and architecture.

Mathias Höbinger

Mathias got his MSc in Applied Mathematics in 2009 with his thesis about circle packings on freeform surfaces. After joining Evolute, he continues to deepen his own knowledge of his beloved circles and is working hard at making their beautiful architectural applications accessible for everyone by developing plugins for Rhino.

Florin Isvoranu

Florin has a degree in architecture and joined Evolute in May 2011. He strengthens our team as an experienced architect and power user of Rhino, and is the main contact point for EvoluteTools for Rhino.
