Ar. Shneel Malik
Peer-Review committee
Architect and Bio designer, Shneel Malik is currently a Teaching Fellow & a PhD Candidate at the Bio-Integrated Design (Bio-ID) Lab based at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. She investigates the design and fabrication of large-scale photosynthetic membranes for applications within Architecture. With the aim of gathering an advanced understanding of the composition, structure and processing of complex biological tissues and systems she further explores large-scale fabrication techniques of 3D Printing and Robotic fabrication with the aim of developing passive biological architectural scaffolds with a range of energy-based applications such as bioremediation and biophotovoltaics. She is also the innovator of Indus - a modular wall system designed to clean wastewater using bioremediation in small scale artisanal industries. Her research work has been exhibited at various International Design forums such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris (2019), London Design Festival (2018-19) and at the BioTallinn Biennale in Estonia (2017).
