About
Ioana Petre is a rising researcher at the forefront of sustainable waste management, specializing in the automated sorting of Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW). Her work directly addresses the critical environmental and economic challenges posed by CDW, which constitutes over a third of all waste generated in Europe. Petre’s major contributions lie in developing intelligent classification algorithms and real-time sorting systems designed to efficiently separate the diverse materials—over twenty types—found in demolition debris. Her most-cited paper, "Real-time sorting system for the Construction and Demolition Waste materials" (2021, 9 citations), lays the groundwork for automated solutions that can significantly improve recycling rates and reduce landfill dependency. Building on this, her 2022 study on classification algorithms refines the precision of these systems, targeting a CDW management market projected to reach USD 287.4 billion by 2027. While her citation counts are modest, Petre’s work is foundational in a rapidly expanding field, positioning her as a key contributor to the technological shift toward circular economy practices in construction.
