About
Asel Maria Aguilar Sanchez is a leading researcher in advanced manufacturing for structural engineering, with a focus on wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) for steel components. Her work centers on the point-by-point deposition of high-strength material, a technique that, when combined with robotic arms and real-time sensing, enables the efficient, custom fabrication of complex structural nodes, space trusses, and grid shells. Her most-cited paper (86 citations) investigates the tensile performance of these additively manufactured steel bars, demonstrating their viability as novel joining methods for structural components. In related work (10 citations), she examines the corrosion behavior of such elements, addressing a critical durability concern for real-world application. By bridging materials science, robotics, and structural design, Aguilar Sanchez is pioneering a path toward more flexible, automated, and resilient construction processes. Her research is particularly impactful for students and engineers interested in the intersection of digital fabrication, structural integrity, and sustainable building technologies.
