Graduated as an architect at UCLouvain (Belgium) in 2019 with a special focus in materiality and eco-design. She started a thesis in September 2020 between materials engineering, architecture and environment, under the supervision of Prof. Pardoen at UCLouvain and Dr. Trachte. Her research focus on the development of a sustainable building composite material with high reuse or recycling potential, composed of recycled fibers waste, sand and lime. New construction technologies encouraged by the EU and Belgium are constantly developing as eco-construction, development of new materials derived from bio-based raw materials and circular and reversible design. The goal is to respond to current ecological challenges by developing new circular and sustainable building materials.
