About
Laia Mogas-Soldevila is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of biomaterials, digital fabrication, and sustainable architecture. Her work redefines how we build by replacing petroleum-based products with water-based, biodegradable polymers derived from natural sources like crustacean shells. Her major contributions include developing large-scale additive manufacturing processes for functionally graded hydrogel composites, enabling the robotic fabrication of structures that are not only structurally sound but also environmentally interactive. Her 2014 paper on water-based robotic fabrication (78 citations) laid the groundwork for this field, while her 2015 work on flow-based fabrication (53 citations) established an integrated computational workflow for designing multifunctional, heterogeneous objects. Mogas-Soldevila’s notable achievements include the "Ocean Pavilion," a biomaterial-templated structure that harnesses hydration to modulate material properties, and her 2024 study on inducing molecular anisotropy in 3D-printed biopolymers (5 citations), which pushes the boundaries of nanoscale control for macro-scale sustainable construction. With a career dedicated to merging material science, digital design, and ecological responsibility, she is shaping a future where buildings grow, adapt, and biodegrade in harmony with nature.
