About
Abtin Baghdadi is an emerging structural engineering researcher whose work sits at the intersection of advanced manufacturing technologies and modern construction systems. His research focuses primarily on robotic fabrication methods — including Wire-and-Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) and CNC subtractive manufacturing — and their transformative applications in structural steel and precast concrete construction. Baghdadi's most impactful contribution, garnering 35 citations, demonstrates how WAAM can be practically deployed to strengthen standard I-beam profiles, addressing both economic and environmental challenges in contemporary construction. Complementing this, his investigations into robotic CNC manufacturing for novel dry concrete connections (25 citations) have helped redefine what is geometrically and structurally achievable when traditional fabrication constraints are lifted. His broader body of work explores precast concrete systems, innovative connection designs — including coupled-bolts, hinges, and steel tube joints — and the potential for reusable, foldable structural elements that align with circular construction principles. By consistently pairing experimental testing with numerical simulation, Baghdadi brings rigorous validation to forward-looking design concepts. With a rapidly growing citation record concentrated within just a few years, he represents a promising voice in the future of digitally-driven, sustainable structural engineering.
