The building sector consumes vast amounts of natural resources and accounts for around 37% of global CO2 emissions according to the UN. Cement alone is estimated to be responsible for 8% of it. Therefore sustainable alternatives must be found and a promising solution is the use of secondary resources such as slags, clays as well as natural or industrial ashes. The research of Katrin Schollbach focuses on investigating these materials and finding safe applications as building materials.

Katrin Schollbach has been an Assistant Professor in the Building Materials Group of the Department of the Built Environment since 2019. She studied Mineralogy at the University of Leipzig, Germany and obtained her PhD in the same field at the Matin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg.
