About

Patrycja Jakubowska is a rising figure in sustainable construction materials, with a focused expertise in 3D-printed mortar and waste valorization. Her most cited work, "Early-Age Mechanical Properties of 3D-Printed Mortar with Spent Garnet" (2021, 21 citations), pioneers the use of spent garnet—an abrasive blasting byproduct—as a full or partial replacement for natural sand in additive manufacturing. By systematically testing replacement levels from 0% to 100%, she demonstrated that up to 75% substitution can maintain printability and early-age strength, offering a circular economy solution for the construction industry. This research directly addresses two pressing challenges: reducing the carbon footprint of cementitious materials and repurposing industrial waste. Her contributions are notable for bridging material science with digital fabrication, providing practical mix designs that do not compromise mechanical performance. As a researcher, Jakubowska’s work is gaining traction among scholars exploring eco-friendly 3D printing, and her findings serve as a critical benchmark for future studies on waste-derived aggregates in automated construction. Her achievements mark her as an innovator in sustainable infrastructure.
