About

You Yuqiu is a rising researcher in the field of operations research and advanced manufacturing, with a primary focus on production scheduling and optimization for additive manufacturing technologies. Her most notable contribution is the development of novel scheduling models for 3D printing machines, specifically aimed at minimizing makespan—the total time required to complete a batch of jobs. In her 2023 paper "Scheduling 3D Printing Machines to Minimize Makespan," she addresses the unique challenges of 3D printing environments, such as variable build times and machine capacity constraints, proposing efficient algorithms that improve throughput and resource utilization. While her work is early in its citation trajectory, it has already garnered attention from peers in manufacturing and logistics, signaling its practical relevance for industries adopting 3D printing at scale. Yuqiu’s research bridges the gap between theoretical scheduling theory and real-world additive manufacturing constraints, offering actionable insights for factory managers and engineers. Her work is particularly valuable for students and researchers exploring how optimization techniques can be tailored to emerging, flexible production systems.
