About
Angelica Castro-Salazar is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of sustainable construction and additive manufacturing, with a primary focus on 3D printing with earth-based materials. Her work advances the development of local, circular material processing methods that minimize environmental impact while enabling scalable, low-carbon building solutions. Castro-Salazar’s most influential contribution, the 2024 paper "3D printing earth: Local, circular material processing, fabrication methods, and Life Cycle Assessment," has garnered 45 citations, establishing her as a leading voice in this emerging field. She has also authored a related 2023 study that further explores life cycle assessment frameworks for earth-based 3D printing. Her research uniquely integrates material science, fabrication techniques, and environmental evaluation, providing a holistic blueprint for sustainable construction. By demonstrating that locally sourced earth can be processed and printed with minimal energy and waste, Castro-Salazar is helping to redefine how the architecture and construction industries approach material circularity. Her work is particularly notable for its practical, real-world applicability, offering a viable path toward reducing the carbon footprint of the built environment.
