Rima Ajlouni
Dr Ajlouni is Associate Professor of Architecture at the University of Utah. Her work centres on the use of computation and digital tools in architecture and historic preservation, and further focuses on linking historical research and mathematics to contemporary applications through computation and digital fabrication. Her earlier research investigated digital methods for the reconstruction of historic Islamic geometric patterns. Dr Ajlouni led the design team for the reconstruction of the Minbar of Saladin in Al Aqsa Mosque. In 2010, she directed an effort to establish the first international historic preservation program in Iraq. Her recent work on quasi-periodic patterns in Islamic architecture has led to the development of long-range non-periodic structural lattice equations, which have potential for wide cross-disciplinary applications in the sciences, technology and humanities.
