About
Cindhuja Chockalingam is a leading researcher at the intersection of additive manufacturing, energy systems, and sustainability. Her work is renowned for pioneering the assessment of how disruptive technologies, particularly 3D printing, reshape global energy demand—a field often overlooked in traditional energy scenarios. Her landmark 2017 paper, “The effect of additive manufacturing on global energy demand: An assessment using a bottom-up approach,” has garnered 138 citations, establishing a foundational framework for evaluating AM’s energy implications across multiple future scenarios. This research highlights her ability to bridge manufacturing innovation with climate and resource challenges, offering critical insights for policymakers and engineers. Beyond this, Chockalingam’s contributions extend to modeling the systemic impacts of emerging technologies, making her a sought-after voice in sustainable manufacturing. Her work not only quantifies potential energy savings but also underscores the need to integrate non-energy sectors into global energy planning. For students and researchers, Chockalingam exemplifies how interdisciplinary thinking can uncover hidden levers for a low-carbon future, blending technical rigor with visionary foresight.
