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.
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:
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.
