About
Dr. Fangyuan Gong is a leading researcher at the forefront of applying additive manufacturing to civil infrastructure, with a specialized focus on the maintenance and longevity of asphalt pavements. Her work directly addresses the critical challenge of repairing cracks and potholes—a major source of road degradation and safety hazards. Dr. Gong’s major contributions include pioneering the use of 3D printing technologies as a rapid, precise, and durable alternative to traditional, labor-intensive repair methods. Her most-cited paper, "Prospect of 3D printing technologies in maintenance of asphalt pavement cracks and potholes" (2023), has already garnered 48 citations, underscoring its immediate impact on the field. In a complementary review (19 citations), she systematically compared conventional techniques with 3D printing, evaluating principles, materials, and equipment to establish a clear roadmap for future adoption. By demonstrating how additive manufacturing can deliver automated, on-site repairs with enhanced material performance, Dr. Gong is helping to transform pavement maintenance from a reactive, costly process into a proactive, technology-driven solution. Her work is essential reading for engineers and researchers seeking to modernize transportation infrastructure.
