About
Greg Doughty is a pioneering researcher in in-situ resource utilisation (ISRU) and additive manufacturing for space exploration, with a particular focus on sustainable lunar and Martian infrastructure. His most cited work, "FFC Cambridge process and metallic 3D printing for deep in-situ resource utilisation - A match made on the moon" (2017), introduces a transformative approach that combines the FFC Cambridge electrochemical reduction process with metallic 3D printing to convert lunar regolith directly into usable metal components. This work challenges the prevailing ISRU emphasis on extracting consumables like water, instead advocating for the production of structural materials and tools on-site, drastically reducing Earth-launch mass. With 4 citations, this paper has laid foundational groundwork for future off-world manufacturing. Doughty’s contributions bridge materials science and space engineering, offering a practical pathway toward self-sustaining human settlements beyond Earth. His research is notable for its forward-looking, systems-level thinking, positioning him as a key voice in the next generation of space resource utilisation.
