In the news! Dr. Srubar was profiled in light of his new position as Deming Associate Dean for Innovation & Entrepreneurship. Read more below: lnkd.in/e6SuRZB5

If you haven’t yet registered, now is your last chance. Registration will close on Friday June 28th. And don’t forget to also submit your abstracts for the symposium! The program is shaping up nicely and this is an event you won’t want to miss. colorado.edu/ceae/embodied-…

In case you missed it, the LMLab is helping host a bootcamp and symposium on embodied carbon for structural engineers. Check it out! colorado.edu/ceae/embodied-…. Registration and abstracts are due June 28th!

Please consider submitting a presentation for the symposium. As the final day will be community-driven, your contributions are welcomed! More details: colorado.edu/ceae/embodied-…

Days 1 & 2 will engage attendees in classroom instruction to bring everybody up to speed on the fundamentals and best practices. Day 3 will be a symposium with both practitioners and academics presenting on advancements in how structural engineers can engage in embodied carbon.

Exciting news! The University of Colorado Boulder is hosting an Embodied Carbon Bootcamp and Symposium for structural engineers this summer between July 25th and 27th! This event is designed as an on-ramp for structural engineers looking to become leaders in embodied carbon.

LML researchers Matt Jungclaus, Sarah Williams, Jay Arehart, and Wil Srubar present an updated method for CO2 sequestration via carbonation in their publication titled 'Whole-life carbon emissions of concrete mixtures considering maximum CO2 sequestration via carbonation'.

How much CO2 is sequestered in concrete via carbonation? And how does that compare to its cradle-to-gate embodied carbon emissions?

The lab's productivity 'went dark' today during the eclipse... or, rather, to about 75%

Dr. Srubar has been selected as a @SchmidtFutures Science Polymath! The Living Materials Laboratory will receive $500K/year for five years to pursue high-risk, high-reward research that constitutes a substantial shift in our current research portfolio. Big things ahead!

The implications of the study open the door to further material science and architectural engineering exploration of this new sustainable construction method. Check out the paper here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

This NSF-funded project aims to explore the potential of sustainable biopolymer additives to unlock this new technology. It was found that algae-derived biopolymers facilitated improved rheology and printability properties through micro-structural modifications.

New Paper Alert! Living Materials Lab postdoc Dr. Samuel Armistead and PhD student Bex Mikofsky collaborated with @ColumbiaGSAPP and @CUSEAS researchers on the 3D-printability of earth concrete.
