About
Zhonghao Chen is a rising researcher at the forefront of digital fabrication and structural engineering, with a primary focus on robotic wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) for steel structures. His work bridges the gap between advanced manufacturing processes and practical construction, addressing critical challenges in material behaviour, structural performance, and automated construction pathways. Chen’s most-cited paper, a comprehensive review published in 2026, synthesizes the state of the art in robotic WAAM for steel, offering a roadmap for integrating additive manufacturing into large-scale, load-bearing applications. This work has already garnered 4 citations, signalling its early impact in a rapidly evolving field. By systematically analyzing process parameters, material properties, and structural applications, Chen provides a foundational resource for researchers and engineers seeking to transition WAAM from laboratory prototypes to real-world construction sites. His contributions are particularly notable for emphasizing the potential of robotics to reduce waste, enhance design flexibility, and enable on-site automated assembly. As the construction industry increasingly turns to digital and sustainable methods, Chen’s research positions him as a key voice in shaping the future of automated steel construction.
