About

Alexander List is an emerging researcher whose work sits at the intersection of cold spray technology, robotics, and advanced manufacturing. His research focuses on automating and optimizing cold spray processes — a solid-state material deposition technique with significant advantages for repairing metallic components without the heat-related risks associated with conventional methods. List has made notable contributions to trajectory planning, path design programming, and 3D volume construction methodologies for cold spray additive manufacturing, collectively accumulating over 30 citations across a focused and cohesive body of work published primarily between 2021 and 2025. One of his most impactful contributions is his development of generic implementation frameworks for spray path design, his most cited work with 11 citations, alongside automated trajectory planning systems for robot-guided cold spray repair. By integrating industrial robotics with cold spray systems, List has helped push the technology toward flexible, controlled, and fully automated repair workflows. His knowledge-based optimization approaches further address the challenge of achieving high material quality in geometrically complex repair scenarios. For students and researchers exploring additive manufacturing, surface engineering, or robotic automation, List's work represents a valuable and practically oriented perspective on next-generation component repair strategies.
