About
Lucas Michel is a leading researcher at the intersection of advanced manufacturing and structural engineering, with a primary focus on wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) for steel components. His most influential work, "Performance under tensile loading of point-by-point wire and arc additively manufactured steel bars for structural components" (86 citations), demonstrates how robotic-assisted, point-by-point deposition can serve as a novel, efficient joining method for custom structural elements. This breakthrough combines high-strength material deposition with real-time sensing, enabling the creation of complex nodes, space trusses, and grid shells. Michel further explores the durability of these additively manufactured connections in his work on corrosion behaviour (10 citations), addressing a critical gap for real-world structural applications. Additionally, his innovative approach to automated local electrochemical characterization (2 citations) overcomes traditional sample preparation limitations, allowing corrosion studies on complex, as-manufactured surfaces. By bridging additive manufacturing, robotics, and corrosion science, Michel is paving the way for more resilient, custom-engineered steel structures in demanding architectural and infrastructural contexts.
