About

Dr. Hannah Ziegler is a leading researcher in the mechanics of architected materials, with a focus on the design and structural performance of 3D-printed lattice metamaterials. Her most cited work, "Bending behavior of 3D printed mechanically robust tubular lattice metamaterials" (2021), has garnered 67 citations and represents a key contribution to the field. In this study, Dr. Ziegler systematically investigated how tubular lattice geometries can be optimized to enhance bending stiffness and energy absorption without sacrificing mechanical robustness—a critical challenge for lightweight, load-bearing structures. Her research bridges additive manufacturing and structural mechanics, providing design principles that inform applications in aerospace, biomedical implants, and protective equipment. By combining experimental testing with computational modeling, she has advanced the understanding of failure mechanisms in periodic cellular solids. Dr. Ziegler’s work is widely recognized for its practical impact, offering scalable solutions for next-generation metamaterials. Her contributions continue to inspire students and researchers exploring the intersection of topology optimization, 3D printing, and mechanical resilience.
