He has held visiting appointments at Roger Williams University, the University of Cincinnati, and at Boston Architectural College as Sasaki Distinguished Visiting Professor. His teaching areas include design, digital design, robotic fabrication, construction, leadership, and multidisciplinary design.

Daubmann is a registered architect with a record of distinguished projects inspired and driven by his broad interests in design. As a former partner of PLY Architecture, he co-authored a broad range of work exploring design and digital fabrication with a local focus in Michigan. The work of PLY has been published nationally and internationally and received awards for both built and speculative projects. From 2010 to 2013 he served as the vice president of design and creative director for Blu Homes. In this capacity, he oversaw site specific projects and led a creative and multidisciplinary product development team that created modern, green, prefab houses that folded for shipping across North America.

He received his Bachelor of Architecture from Roger Williams University and a Master of Science in architectural studies from Massachusetts Institute of Technology where his concentration was in design computing. He is a fellow of the American Academy in Rome. His research while in residence in Rome was focused on construction geometry related to the Baroque.
