- Deloitte and the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ Climate Innovation Collaboratory Research Awards selected three CEAE faculty members for funding.
- Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder faculty developed an eco-friendly cement that emits little to no carbon dioxide and recycles 95 percent of its water. In 2021, they commercialized it as Prometheus Materials. The company produces bio-concrete using blue-green algae, mimicking natural processes that form seashells and coral reefs.
- Forbes Magazine is featuring groundbreaking research conducted by faculty members at Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder in the field of eco-friendly concrete. Cement is a significant contributor to carbon emissions, responsible for about eight percent of global output.
- The article, "Carbon-Negative Pilot," was published in the August issue of Concrete International magazine. Authors include Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering researchers Yao Wang, a post doctoral research associate
- Structural Engineering Professor Mija Hubler and her team of researchers and partners are developing a technology that infuses concrete with self-repair capabilities found in living organisms. The project has landed a $10 million Department of Defense grant.
- In this talk, Associate Professor Mija Hubler (Civil, Environmental & Architectural Engineering; Materials Science and Engineering) discusses how construction materials have been understood historically and how her research is helping reimagine materials and processes with sustainability in mind.
- Mija Hubler, associate professor of civil, environmental and architectural engineering, received a three-year award for $500,000 from the Department of Energy for “High-Performing Carbon-Negative Concrete Using Low Value Byproducts from
- Assistant Professor Mija Hubler is a recipient of a three year, $548,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award for her proposal “Mechanical Modeling of Living Building Materials for Structural Applications
- Researchers at Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder are developing an app that could reliably and quickly predict whether batches of concrete made at construction sites are safe. If successful, the work could usher in a new era of building that is faster, more cost effective
- Assistant Professor Mija Hubler and Melvin E. and Virginia M. Clark Professor Al Weimer are collaborating on linked Department of Energy-funded projects to capture and repurpose carbon products from fuel sources into materials for concrete bricks.
