About
Shan Dulanty is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of sustainable space technologies, with a primary focus on robotic manufacturing, in-space recycling, and the circular economy beyond Earth. Their most-cited work, "Robotic upcycling and recycling: unraveling the era of sustainable in-space manufacturing" (2024), lays the groundwork for transforming how we approach material use in microgravity—advocating for robotic systems that can repurpose waste into new components rather than relying solely on resupply missions. This contribution is especially timely as space agencies and private companies push toward long-duration missions and lunar or Martian habitats. While still early in their career, Dulanty’s research bridges additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and sensor technologies, drawing on NASA’s successful 3D printing demonstrations aboard the International Space Station. Their work signals a critical shift from disposable space hardware to regenerative, self-sustaining systems. With growing relevance to both space exploration and terrestrial sustainability, Dulanty is emerging as a key voice in the next generation of space manufacturing engineers.
