About

Tsz Yan Ng is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of digital fabrication, advanced cementitious materials, and textile-inspired construction. Her primary research areas include 3D-printed engineered cementitious composites (ECC), robotic fabrication for construction, and nonwoven textile manufacturing. Ng's most significant contribution is her work on 3D-printable engineered cementitious composites (3DP-ECC), which addresses a critical challenge in 3D concrete printing: the need for steel reinforcement. Her 2021 paper on this topic has garnered 211 citations, highlighting its impact on the field. By developing ductile, self-reinforced ECC materials, Ng has enabled the creation of structural components without traditional reinforcement, making 3D printing more efficient and practical. Her 2020 study on extrusion nozzle shaping for ECC further advanced the precision and quality of 3D-printed cementitious structures. Additionally, Ng's innovative work on robotic needle felting for nonwoven textiles demonstrates her interdisciplinary approach, merging hard and soft materials. Her research not only pushes the boundaries of digital construction but also opens new possibilities for sustainable, automated building methods.
