What happened at the “V Jornadas de jóvenes científicos en materiales de construcción”?
The event was a platform for DIOPMA Group researchers Anna Alfocea Roig, Jessica Giró Paloma, and Joan Formosa Mitjans to demonstrate their leadership in sustainable construction materials research.
Anna Alfocea Roig presented on the valorization of Tundish deskulling waste to develop alternative construction materials. Joan Formosa gave a lecture, as a special guest, in the workshop “Current situation and perspective of construction materials”. Jessica Giró, in addition to being part of the organization, chaired one of the congress sessions.
About the sustainable materials research presented
In this section, we explore how the work presented by the DIOPMA Group at the event contributes to the field of sustainable construction materials:
- Our research highlighted how waste, often considered a valueless byproduct, can be transformed into valuable resources for the construction industry.
- We addressed the challenges and opportunities in the field of sustainable construction materials. The presentations illustrated the importance of adopting a circular approach in construction to ensure a more sustainable future.
- The participation of our researchers clearly demonstrated DIOPMA Group’s commitment to promoting and advancing research in this vital field.
Main figures of the sustainable materials event
DIOPMA participants played crucial roles in the event. Anna Alfocea, a pre-doctoral researcher, specializes in the valorization of waste and byproducts for sustainable construction. Jessica Giró Paloma, a tenure track lecturer in consolidation, researcher in sustainable construction materials, waste and byproducts valorization. Joan Formosa Mitjans, an associate professor, contributes his expertise in the development of sustainable construction materials.
Conclusions and main learnings of the DIOPMA team
The “V Jornadas de jóvenes científicos en materiales de construcción” was a stage for the exchange of ideas and experiences in the field of sustainable construction. This event highlighted the importance of innovation in waste valorization, collaboration between academia and industry, and ongoing commitment to sustainability.
The active participation of the DIOPMA Group in events like these conferences strengthens its position as a leader in the field and provides great opportunities for knowledge sharing, collaboration, and continued pushing of the boundaries of sustainable construction.
