About
Ueli Angst is a researcher whose work sits at the compelling intersection of corrosion science, structural engineering, and robotic inspection technologies. His research focuses on the corrosion monitoring and assessment of reinforced concrete infrastructure, as well as the corrosion behavior of advanced manufacturing materials, particularly those produced through wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). Angst has made significant contributions to the development of autonomous robotic systems for non-destructive corrosion inspection. His pioneering work includes a climbing robot utilizing vortex adhesion and electrochemical sensing for concrete structure monitoring (39 citations), and more recently, flying drone-based inspection platforms capable of early-stage corrosion detection on civil structures (29 citations). These innovations address critical limitations in accessibility and efficiency that plague conventional inspection methods. His investigations into point-by-point WAAM steel bars have garnered considerable attention, with his 2021 tensile performance study accumulating 86 citations, establishing the mechanical and corrosion credentials of this emerging fabrication technology. Complementing this, his development of localized electrochemical characterization probes for complex-geometry metallic surfaces reflects a commitment to bridging laboratory science with real-world engineering conditions. Together, Angst's body of work meaningfully advances structural health monitoring and materials durability in modern infrastructure.
