Sotirios Ntzoufras is an architect and PhD candidate at the School of Architecture, Technical University of Crete (TUC). His doctoral research focuses on swarm‑robotic systems for architectural design and construction. He is a researcher at the Transformable Intelligent Environments Laboratory (TUC‑TIE Lab) and has served as a teaching assistant for Architectural Design, Advanced Digital Media, and Digital Fabrication. He has also contributed to research projects in Greece and abroad. His interests include architectural design, transformable intelligent environments, digital fabrication, computational design, and virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR).

He served as manager of the Makerspace of the Municipality of Athens (TUC‑TIE Lab, Stavros Niarchos Foundation), where he organised four conferences and ten workshops and delivered training on 3D scanning and 3D modelling for digital fabrication. He has developed VR/AR applications for the Municipality of Athens, the Leonteios School of Athens, and the Greek Ministry of Education, including virtual tours of historic buildings generated through photogrammetry and LiDAR scanning. Additionally, he participated in NASA’s “Extra‑Terrestrial Habitats on Mars” project, in collaboration with the University of Houston and TUC‑TIE Lab, where he contributed to swarm‑based robotic construction methods for space colonisation.

His work was recognised with the Best Diploma Thesis Award (Technical Chamber of Greece, 2018). He has received scholarships for academic excellence and for his doctoral studies, has authored 17 peer‑reviewed conference and journal papers, and has earned 6 awards in architecture and education, 3 distinctions in international competitions, and participation in 6 architectural and artistic exhibitions.
