About

Punnathat Bordeenithikasem is a leading researcher at the intersection of additive manufacturing, metallic glass science, and space robotics. His work focuses on developing advanced materials and structures for extreme environments, particularly for future robotic space exploration. Bordeenithikasem’s major contributions include pioneering the additive manufacturing of excavating tools using multiple metal alloys—such as Ti-6Al-4V, 316L stainless steel, and AMZ4 bulk metallic glass—demonstrated in his highly cited 2020 paper (22 citations). He has also advanced the design of compliant morphing structures from twisted bulk metallic glass ribbons (12 citations) and miniaturized gripping structures for robotic mobility platforms (9 citations). His research uniquely combines materials science with mechanical engineering to create durable, lightweight components capable of withstanding the harsh conditions of space. Bordeenithikasem’s work has significant implications for in-situ resource utilization on the Moon and Mars, enabling more efficient and resilient robotic systems. His achievements highlight a promising trajectory in space materials engineering, with growing impact in both academic and aerospace communities.
