According to Northumbria University, researchers have been awarded a prestigious Marie Sk\u0142odowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Fellowship to lead innovative research into low-carbon, 3D printed construction materials. The funding of over a quart<\/a>er of a million euros will enable postdoctoral researcher Dr. Jyotirmoy Mishra to join Northumbria University to undertake a fellowship exploring the potential of sustainable, waste-derived alternative activators in 3D printed geopolymer mortars.<\/p>\n

The MSCA Fellowships, part<\/a> of the Horizon Europe program, support postdoctoral researchers to expand their expertise through advanced training and cross-disciplinary, international collaboration.<\/p>\n

The project will be led by Associate Professor Keerthan Poologanathan, Head of Structural Engineering at Northumbria, alongside Associate Professor in Civil Engineering, Dr. Vikki Edmondson, and Assistant Professor of Structural Engineering, Dr. Mohammadali Rezazadeh. It aims to develop new geopolymer-based construction materials using agricultural and industrial waste \u2013 which could help to significantly reduce the environment<\/a>al impact of the construction sector.<\/p>\n

A key focus of the project will be the development of 3D printable geopolymer mortars using alternative alkaline activators derived from waste, replacing the carbon-intensive Portland cement typically used in 3D printed construction.<\/p>\n

The study will explore factors including setting time, workability, compressive strength, microstructure, and long-term durability of the 3D printed materials, alongside a full Life Cycle Assessment to evaluate environment<\/a>al performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am truly honoured to receive the Marie Sk\u0142odowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship and to join Northumbria\u2019s world-class Associate Professor Keerthan Poologanathan and his research team. This project allows me to contribute to cutting-edge innovation in sustainable construction by integrating material science, structural engineering, and digital manufacturing,\u201d said Dr. Jyotirmoy Mishra. \u201cThe opportunity to explore waste-based alternative activators in 3D printed geopolymer mortars is both timely and essential for addressing global climate challenges in the built environment<\/a>. Being awarded the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship is a significant milestone that will greatly advance my research career and enable me to translate research into industry-relevant solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

This latest project builds on Northumbria\u2019s longstanding strengths in civil and structural engineering, international collaboration, and PhD-led innovation, and supports the University\u2019s broader commitment to addressing climate change and promoting a circular economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe MSCA Fellowship is a recognition of Northumbria\u2019s research excellence and reinforces our position as a hub for advanced, interdisciplinary work in sustainable engineering,\u201d said Dr. Poologanathan. \u201c3D printed concrete is the future of sustainable construction \u2013 this research will help to reduce carbon emissions, cut material costs, and minimise waste, while improving the strength and durability of modern infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year, Northumbria University announced the installation of new cutting-edge 3D construction printing technology, teaming up with 3D construction printer manufacturer Luyten 3D, and UK-based sustainable technology company ChangeMaker 3D, to establish the new capability within Northumbria\u2019s Structures Laboratory.<\/p>\n
