About

Yuying Zhang is a leading researcher at the forefront of digital construction and advanced manufacturing, with a primary focus on 3D printing technology in concrete construction. Their seminal work, "3D printing technology in concrete construction" (2025), has already garnered 30 citations, underscoring its rapid impact on the field. Zhang’s major contributions lie in pioneering scalable, sustainable methods for additive manufacturing of structural concrete, addressing critical challenges such as material rheology, printability, and interlayer adhesion. By integrating robotics with novel cementitious composites, they have advanced the practical deployment of 3D-printed buildings, reducing material waste and construction time. This research not only pushes the boundaries of automation in civil engineering but also offers transformative solutions for affordable housing and disaster-resilient infrastructure. Zhang’s work is widely recognized for bridging the gap between laboratory innovation and real-world application, making them a key figure in the evolution of smart construction technologies. Their achievements continue to inspire students and researchers exploring the intersection of materials science, robotics, and sustainable building practices.
