About
Malo Charrier is a leading researcher in the field of sustainable construction materials, with a primary focus on geopolymer composites and additive manufacturing. His most cited work, "Strategy to shape, on a half-meter scale, a geopolymer composite structure by additive manufacturing" (2021, 18 citations), represents a significant breakthrough in 3D-printing technology for eco-friendly building materials. Charrier developed an innovative printing strategy that enables the fabrication of half-meter-scale geopolymer composite structures without relying on organic additives—a critical advancement for reducing the carbon footprint of construction. His approach involves a custom-designed cartridge-based printing device integrated with a 6-axis robot, demonstrating exceptional precision in controlling material properties such as yield stress, working time, and apparent Young's modulus. This work addresses a key challenge in additive manufacturing: scaling up geopolymer printing while maintaining structural integrity and workability. Charrier's contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between laboratory-scale experiments and practical construction applications, offering a viable pathway toward low-carbon, digitally fabricated infrastructure. His research continues to influence the development of sustainable building technologies, with potential applications in disaster relief housing and architectural components.
