About
Guilan Wang is a leading researcher in advanced manufacturing, specializing in wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) and thermal spray coating technologies. Her work addresses critical challenges in producing large-scale aerospace components, particularly through innovative path planning strategies. In her highly cited 2019 study (52 citations), Wang introduced an end lateral extension path strategy for WAAM 2319 aluminum alloy, solving the problem of weak intersections in frame-like aircraft parts—a breakthrough that directly improves the mechanical integrity of additively manufactured structures. Earlier, she developed integrated temperature measurement and control approaches for atmospheric plasma spraying (APS), enabling real-time monitoring of coating processes (17 and 8 citations). Her research extends to multi-axis path planning for hybrid plasma deposition and milling (5 citations) and robotic automatic polishing systems for rapid mold fabrication (3 citations). Wang’s contributions bridge fundamental process understanding with practical automation, offering scalable solutions for high-performance manufacturing. Her work is essential reading for engineers and researchers seeking to optimize additive and coating processes for demanding industrial applications.
