Research Lines

Materials and Construction Processes

This research line aims to explore and improve, through theoretical and experimental analysis, both innovative and conventional materials and construction processes. Students delve into a dynamic and interdisciplinary field to study new materials with specific properties designed to ensure greater durability, process optimization, manufacturing efficiency, rationalization, and the reduction of costs and waste.

Furthermore, the Materials and Construction Processes line plays a crucial role in addressing contemporary challenges, such as:

Developing high-performance structures with increased resilience against natural disasters and climate change.

Adapting to the growing demand for sustainable infrastructure.

Collaborating with industry professionals on innovative research projects that advance the fields of Materials Engineering and construction technology.

Sustainability and Urban Infrastructure

This interdisciplinary research line provides a comprehensive framework for investigation based on 7 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations.

The specific SDGs addressed by this research line are:

  • SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation – Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
  • SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy – Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all.
  • SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure – Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation.
  • SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities – Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.
  • SDG 13: Climate Action – Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
  • SDG 15: Life on Land – Protect, restore, and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems and halt biodiversity loss.
  • SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals – Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.

Based on these pillars, the Sustainability and Urban Infrastructure line encompasses projects related to urban infrastructure, including the technologies and materials involved in their construction. By treating sustainability as a core objective in the face of urban transformation, climate change, and new mobility systems, this line proposes technical solutions and explores new technologies—such as advanced engineering software and energy-efficient materials—to redefine the functions and performance of the urban environment.
