About
Laure Ducoulombier is a materials scientist whose research focuses on the development of sustainable construction materials, particularly geopolymers and their application in additive manufacturing. Her work bridges the gap between traditional cementitious materials and emerging 3D printing technologies, with a strong emphasis on using locally sourced clays to create eco-friendly binders. Her most-cited paper, "A novel approach of geopolymer formulation based on clay for additive manufacturing" (2021), has garnered 11 citations, establishing a foundation for low-carbon, printable building materials. This contribution is notable for demonstrating how raw clay-based geopolymers can be optimized for extrusion-based 3D printing, offering a viable alternative to conventional cement in construction. Ducoulombier’s research addresses critical challenges in the building sector, including reducing CO₂ emissions and enabling on-site fabrication with minimal waste. Her work is particularly relevant for students and researchers exploring circular economy principles in civil engineering, as it provides a practical pathway toward more sustainable infrastructure. Through her innovative formulations, she is helping to shape the future of digital construction.
