About

Hanan Al-Raqeb is an emerging researcher specializing in innovative construction technologies and sustainable waste management, with a particular focus on the Gulf region. Her work sits at the intersection of robotic construction, digital fabrication, and environmental sustainability, addressing critical challenges facing rapidly developing economies in the Middle East. Al-Raqeb's most notable contribution centers on the feasibility and adoption of Three-Dimensional Concrete Printing (3DCP) within Kuwait's construction sector. Her research uniquely incorporates stakeholder perspectives to evaluate how this transformative technology can be integrated into existing construction waste management frameworks, offering practical pathways toward more sustainable building practices. By engaging directly with industry stakeholders, she bridges the gap between cutting-edge construction technology and real-world implementation challenges specific to Kuwait's regulatory and industrial landscape. Her 2024 study on 3DCP has already garnered meaningful attention within the academic community, accumulating citations that reflect growing interest in both robotic construction and sustainable development in the region. Al-Raqeb's research is particularly valuable for policymakers, construction professionals, and sustainability advocates seeking evidence-based strategies to modernize Gulf construction practices while minimizing environmental impact.
