About

Zahra Kazemi is a leading researcher in the field of space resource utilization and in-situ manufacturing, with a particular focus on lunar infrastructure development. Her work addresses the critical challenge of building sustainable habitats and structures on the Moon using local materials, a cornerstone of future deep-space exploration. Kazemi’s most-cited paper, "A comprehensive review of lunar-based manufacturing and construction" (2024), has already garnered 44 citations, establishing her as a key voice in this rapidly evolving domain. In this seminal review, she systematically analyzed additive manufacturing techniques, regolith processing, and construction methods, providing a roadmap for reducing Earth-dependent supply chains. Her contributions bridge materials science, robotics, and aerospace engineering, offering practical pathways for constructing landing pads, habitats, and radiation shields directly from lunar soil. Kazemi’s work is not only technically rigorous but also visionary, influencing both academic research and space agency roadmaps. As a rising authority in off-world construction, she continues to shape how humanity will build a permanent presence beyond Earth.
