Cristoph Dijoux completed his degree in civil engineering, specialising in structural engineering, at HTWK Leipzig in 2015 with a Master of Science. He supplemented this with an internship at ifb-berlin and a year of study abroad at Istanbul Technical University (ITÜ). The bachelor's thesis, which was written with the support of ifb-berlin, evaluates various pedestrian bridge structures that are characterised by the use of the railings as a supporting structure in a way that emphasises their design. These are compared with standard structures in terms of their material and cost efficiency. His master's thesis examines the applicability of a modular bridge system, the so-called Bailey bridges, under various manufacturing and environmental conditions in developing countries. This topic is based on a co-operation with Ingenieure ohne Grenzen e.V. (Engineers without Borders).

Since then, he has been involved via FLEX with tests on an efficient timber construction principle (Zollinger test sheet), he joined Prof Dr Alexander Stahr at the HTWK Leipzig and worked on the completed projectsMVK - MikroVersatzKnoten and ReFlexRoof. Here he developed the fully parametric definition of the system: from basic geometry data to production data for joinery machines, static calculation with consideration of timber construction verifications and process-oriented optimisation to increase efficiency. He was also responsible for planning and carrying out tests. He worked on the use of digital tools in carpentry companies in the project OptiPaRef project and is currently involved in linking simulations, planning processes and AI in the research project TimberWallDesAIgn research project.

He is a doctoral student and is researching shell structures in timber construction under the supervision of Prof Dr-Ing Peer Haller (TU Dresden) and Prof Dr-Ing Alexander Stahr (HTWK Leipzig).
