About

Shami Nejadi is a prominent researcher specializing in additive manufacturing for construction, with a particular focus on 3D printed concrete and cementitious materials. His work has made significant contributions to advancing the practical application of 3D printing technologies within the built environment, exploring how material composition, printing parameters, and structural reinforcement interact to influence performance outcomes. Nejadi's most impactful contribution, "A Study into the Effect of Different Nozzle Shapes and Fibre-Reinforcement in 3D Printed Mortar" (2019), has garnered 135 citations, establishing him as a key voice in optimizing extrusion-based 3D printing for construction applications. His follow-up work on deposition velocity and E6-glass fibre reinforcement (2020, 70 citations) further deepened understanding of how printing conditions affect structural integrity. Notably, his early collaboration on concrete mix design optimization using a 6DOF industrial robot (2017) demonstrated forward-thinking integration of robotics with construction-scale 3D printing. Nejadi also investigates inkjet-based 3D printing with gypsum and cementitious powders, broadening the scope of his research across multiple printing methodologies. His cumulative body of work, exceeding 230 citations, reflects a sustained and growing influence on the future of automated, sustainable construction practices.
