About

Lieyun Ding is a pioneering figure in civil and construction engineering, whose research has fundamentally reshaped how we approach large-scale infrastructure and extraterrestrial construction. His key contributions span intelligent construction, digital twin technology, and the revolutionary application of additive manufacturing for in-situ resource utilization. Notably, his work on "Additive Manufacturing of Lunar Regolith" (2025, 6 citations) systematically evaluates low-temperature deposition forming and other AM paradigms, establishing a critical pathway for sustainable lunar exploration. This research, alongside his broader portfolio, has earned him over 6,000 total citations, reflecting his profound influence on the field. Ding is also recognized for developing cutting-edge digital twin frameworks that enhance the safety and efficiency of complex construction projects, including deep tunnels and high-rise buildings. His achievements include leading major national research programs and receiving prestigious awards for technological innovation. For students and researchers, Ding’s work exemplifies how rigorous engineering principles can be harnessed to solve humanity’s most ambitious challenges—from building smarter cities on Earth to enabling permanent settlements on the Moon.
