About
Mohamed Saafi is a leading researcher in sustainable construction materials, with a primary focus on developing eco-friendly concrete solutions that reduce the environmental impact of the construction industry. His work addresses the critical challenge of concrete production, which accounts for 8–10% of global anthropogenic CO₂ emissions, by exploring the use of industrial solid waste as a substitute for natural aggregates. In his highly cited 2024 study on “3D printed lightweight concrete containing surface pretreated coal gangue,” Saafi demonstrates how coal gangue aggregate (CGA), coated with silica, can be effectively incorporated into 3D-printed concrete, offering a dual benefit: mitigating aggregate depletion and lowering carbon emissions. This innovative approach not only advances circular economy principles but also opens new pathways for digital fabrication in construction. With growing recognition of his contributions, Saafi’s work is shaping the future of low-carbon, resource-efficient building materials. His research is especially valuable for students and engineers seeking practical, scalable solutions to one of the industry’s most pressing environmental challenges.
