Summary
Andre Pereira is a Digital Director and computational design leader based in Greater Sydney with 8 years of industry experience bridging advanced engineering research and applied design practice. At Taylor Thomson Whitting he progressed from Computational Design Engineer to Digital Director and Head of Computational Design, delivering parametric, optimisation and integration workflows that connect modelling, analysis and production. His background includes a PhD in bone biomechanics and postdoctoral work in big-data microscopy and multi-physics mechanobiology, bringing rigorous simulation and image-processing expertise to architectural and structural problems. He has experience integrating commercial analysis tools with bespoke scripting (Grasshopper, C#) and leading multidisciplinary teams on complex geometry and structural optimisation for high-profile projects. Known for translating academic research into practical design systems, he combines a scientist’s attention to validation with a designer’s focus on constructable outcomes. Based in Australia but trained at Imperial College London and Instituto Superior Técnico, he offers a rare mix of computational mechanics, imaging, and design-systems leadership.
