About
Qilmeg Doudatcz (she/her/hers) holds a Master of Architecture degree from the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, along with a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from Southeast University, Nanjing, China.
Qilmeg's academic journey spans diverse roles. She has served as a research assistant for various groups, specializing in Digital Visualization, LiDAR and Photogrammetry Scanning, Digital Fabrication, and XR project development.
Her thesis, Yertönts: The Vertical World, conducted in collaboration with local Mongolian communities from Ordos, Inner Mongolia, focuses on cultural protection and heritage digitization, earning her the 2024 Burton L. Kampner Thesis Memorial Award for best thesis at Taubman College. Her collaborative VR project, CareSpace XR, with Mardy Hillengas and Einas Elamin, which aimed to design a patient care room using VR and AR tools in partnership with the School of Nursing, received the University of Michigan Best Use of XR Research Award in 2023. Qilmeg also has extensive teaching experience, including workshops on 3D modeling, Adobe Suite, photogrammetry, LiDAR scan visualizations, and studio drawing review sessions for undergraduates.
In her prior studies in Civil Engineering, Qilmeg conducted research on metamaterials and deployable structures. Her thesis, Structural Design and Mechanical Performance Study of Origami-Inspired Polyhedral Metamaterials, earned her the 2021 Southeast University Thesis Award.
Born and raised in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, Qilmeg's architectural journey is deeply enriched by her unique cultural background. She is passionately dedicated to leveraging immersive technologies and parametric design methods for cultural preservation and heritage protection.
