About
Dr. P. Michaelsen is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of construction engineering, digital design, and space exploration. Their primary research areas include Building Information Modeling (BIM), additive manufacturing for extraterrestrial construction, and in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) for planetary habitats. Dr. Michaelsen’s major contribution lies in developing novel BIM workflows that integrate 4D construction sequencing with 3D printing processes, specifically tailored for building autonomous surface habitats on the Moon and Mars. Their work addresses the critical challenge of creating airtight, durable structures that protect crews from harsh extraterrestrial environments while leveraging locally available materials. Although a relatively new contribution, their 2021 paper on BIM workflows for 3D-printed ISRU habitats has already garnered attention with 3 citations, signaling growing impact in this niche but vital field. Dr. Michaelsen’s research is notable for bridging terrestrial digital construction practices with the unique constraints of space architecture, positioning them as a key voice in the future of off-world infrastructure. Their work promises to enable sustainable, autonomous construction beyond Earth, making long-duration space missions more feasible.
