About
Thomas Matschei is a leading researcher at the forefront of sustainable construction materials and digital fabrication. His work centers on two transformative areas: textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) and low-carbon cementitious binders. In his highly cited 2022 study (7 citations), Matschei pioneered the use of TRC for free-form, double-curved architectural elements, demonstrating how the binding type of carbon or glass fiber textiles influences drapability—a critical step toward manufacturing complex, lightweight, and resource-efficient concrete structures. More recently, his 2025 investigation into limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) has broken new ground for automated construction. By systematically analyzing how different calcium sulfate varieties control the intrinsic rheology of LC3 binders, Matschei has provided essential insights for 3D printing and robotic placement of sustainable concrete. His research directly addresses the concrete industry’s dual challenge of reducing carbon emissions while enabling advanced manufacturing. With growing citation impact and a focus on scalable, practical solutions, Matschei’s work is shaping the future of eco-efficient, digitally fabricated concrete.
