Summary
Mark Fuge is Full Professor and Chair of Artificial Intelligence in Engineering Design at ETH Zurich, bringing 14 years of academic and industry experience at the intersection of mechanical engineering, design, and AI. He built a research program spanning web-scale customization, crowdsourced innovation, and machine learning-driven design synthesis during a PhD at UC Berkeley and faculty roles at University of Maryland. His work blends rigorous computational methods—probabilistic design rules, network prediction, and visualization—with hands-on prototype systems from AR interfaces to scalable recommendation engines. Colleagues and students know him for translating complex design problems into practical AI tools that improve product sustainability and creativity. He maintains an active publication record and lab portfolio demonstrating both theoretical depth and applied impact. Unusually for a chair-level academic, he pairs deep engineering roots (earlier GE and CMU projects) with front-line web and UI prototyping experience.
