Guilherme Ascensão is a civil engineer specializing in the development of innovative building materials. He earned a joint Ph.D. degrees in Material Engineering from the Katholic University of Leuven and Civil & Environmental Engineering from the University of Padova (2020). Since 2022, he has been a full-time researcher at RISCO - Research Center for Risks and Sustainability in Construction at the University of Aveiro, where he focuses on creating sustainable and cost-efficient solutions for the built environment. Prior to his role at RISCO, he worked as a research scientist at Cecolab: Collaborative Laboratory Towards Circular Economy in 2021 and at Heidelberg Cement Group under the prestigious Marie Sklodowska-Curie Action EU Training Network (NEW-MINE) from 2016 to 2020. His research journey began at CICECO - Center for Research in Ceramics and Composites between 2014 and 2016. Guilherme Ascensão has presented his work at multiple international conferences and serves as a referee for top-tier journals, and national and international funding agencies. With over 40 scientific publications, 1150+ citations, and an h-index of 16, he has explored research topics such as waste valorization, low clinker cements, geopolymers, and 3D-printed sustainable building components, all aimed at driving positive environmental changes in the construction industry.
