About
Charlotte Roux is a leading researcher at the intersection of sustainable construction and advanced manufacturing, with a primary focus on the environmental assessment of additive manufacturing processes. Her most impactful work, "Life cycle assessment of a concrete 3D printing process" (2022), has garnered 40 citations and established a foundational framework for evaluating the ecological footprint of 3D-printed concrete structures. Roux’s major contribution lies in quantifying the trade-offs between material efficiency and energy consumption in digital fabrication, demonstrating that while 3D printing can reduce waste, the embodied energy of specialized binders and equipment must be carefully managed. Her research provides critical life cycle inventory data that informs both industry best practices and policy guidelines for low-carbon construction. Beyond this landmark paper, Roux has advanced the field by integrating circular economy principles into additive manufacturing, exploring the reuse of demolition waste as printable aggregates. Her work is widely cited by civil engineers, architects, and environmental scientists seeking to decarbonize the built environment. Recognized for bridging experimental process optimization with rigorous environmental metrics, Roux continues to shape how the construction sector adopts digital technologies responsibly.
