About
Nikolaos Vlasopoulos is a leading figure in sustainable construction and advanced manufacturing, whose work bridges materials science, digital fabrication, and life-cycle assessment. His research focuses on developing and evaluating innovative concrete technologies, particularly through additive manufacturing processes like 3D printing. Vlasopoulos’s major contribution lies in pioneering the environmental assessment of integrated additive–subtractive concrete 3D printing, a method that combines printing with subtractive finishing to enhance precision and reduce waste. His most-cited paper, "Life cycle assessment of integrated additive–subtractive concrete 3D printing" (2021), has garnered 73 citations, reflecting its influence on sustainable construction practices. This work quantifies the environmental benefits of such hybrid approaches, offering a critical framework for reducing the carbon footprint of building components. Vlasopoulos’s research is instrumental in advancing digital construction toward greater efficiency and sustainability, making him a key voice in the transition to greener infrastructure. His achievements include shaping industry standards for assessing novel fabrication techniques, and his ongoing work continues to inspire researchers and practitioners seeking to harmonize innovation with environmental stewardship.
