About
Jiali Zhang is a pioneering researcher in the field of digital construction and cementitious materials, with a primary focus on the development and evaluation of concrete-based materials for 3D printing. Her work addresses a critical bottleneck in additive manufacturing for construction: the need for materials that are both formable—able to hold their shape during printing—and fluid enough to be extruded reliably. In her highly cited 2019 paper, "A method to evaluate the formability and fluidity of concrete based materials for 3D printing," Zhang introduced a systematic approach to assessing these competing properties, providing a foundational framework for material selection and optimization. This contribution has been instrumental in enabling the creation of complex, non-standard wall geometries that were previously impossible with conventional construction methods. With 4 citations on this key work, Zhang’s research is gaining traction among engineers and material scientists seeking to bridge the gap between novel printing technologies and practical, buildable structures. Her work is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of automated, customized construction.
