About

Marcel Lewke is an emerging researcher specializing in cold spray technology, robotics-assisted manufacturing, and automated repair processes for metallic components. His work sits at the intersection of advanced material deposition, trajectory planning, and intelligent automation, addressing critical challenges in aerospace and industrial component maintenance. Lewke's most-cited contribution, "Generic implementation of path design for spray deposition" (2023, 11 citations), established foundational programming schemes for optimizing cold spray deposition patterns — a technically demanding problem with significant practical implications. Building on this, his work on automated trajectory planning and robot-guided cold spraying (7 citations) introduced systematic frameworks that enhance the flexibility and precision of robotic repair systems, moving the field closer to fully autonomous manufacturing workflows. His research into 3D volume construction for cold spray additive manufacturing (6 citations) further demonstrates his ability to bridge process science with engineering application, enabling the rapid formation of large, high-quality structures without detrimental heat effects. Complementing this, his knowledge-based optimization approach for aircraft component repair (4 citations) highlights his focus on real-world industrial deployment. Collectively, Lewke's growing body of work — accumulating over 30 citations within just a few years — positions him as a promising contributor to the future of sustainable, automated repair technologies.
