This summer, Dr. Kazemian's research lab in the Bert S. Turner Department of Construction Management hosted high school student Laila El Moselhy, who relocated from New York to Baton Rouge to gain hands-on experience in robotic 3D printing. Laila helped develop an improved software workflow linking 3D design to robotic printing that will support future large-scale, more intricate 3D-printing experiments, and toured labs across the College of Engineering along the way.
