About

Hao Hua is a researcher at the intersection of computational design, digital fabrication, and advanced geometry, with a focus on timber construction and material systems. His work centers on developing reconfigurable modular systems and optimizing prefabrication processes for complex timber structures, notably through his highly cited paper "Reconfigurable Modular System of Prefabricated Timber Grids" (2022, 12 citations), which introduces innovative approaches to adaptable building components. He has made significant contributions to the design and fabrication of timber Voronoi shells, as demonstrated in his 2020 work (9 citations), where he combines optimization algorithms with prefabrication techniques to create efficient, lightweight structural forms. Hua also explores the fabrication of double-sided minimal surfaces using wire cutting (2018, 6 citations), pushing the boundaries of geometric complexity in manufacturing. Additionally, his work on fractional derivatives for interpolation in Rn and SO(n) (2020, 2 citations) shows a theoretical depth, with applications in functionally graded materials and rigid body transformations. With a total of 29 citations across his most-cited papers, Hua’s research is gaining traction for its practical impact on sustainable, computationally-driven architecture and engineering, making him a notable figure in the emerging field of digital timber construction.
