Hello everyone! My name is Enes Samed Kurt, and I’m from Türkiye. I have a background in Civil Engineering, and I’m currently in the final year of my master’s program in Advanced Materials and Circular Economy as an Erasmus Mundus scholar. My academic journey has taken me to the University of Bordeaux for my first year, and I am now studying at the Technical University of Madrid. I am deeply passionate about developing sustainable practices within the construction industry.
During my bachelor’s studies, I had the opportunity to study in Poland as an Erasmus+ exchange student, an experience that significantly shaped my path. It not only sparked my interest in returning to Europe but also motivated me to pursue further studies here. After graduating, I spent a year working in the construction sector in Türkiye. During this time, I noticed a clear gap in implementing sustainability metrics, which inspired me to pursue a master’s focused on sustainable approaches.
At the University of Bordeaux, I gained valuable knowledge in assessing environmental impacts through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and explored a variety of recycling technologies. I also participated in several LCA projects, where I developed a strong foundation in evaluating environmental impacts. Now, I’m eager to apply my skills to the construction sector, with a particular focus on green building standards like LEED and BREEAM, energy efficiency, and integrating circular economy principles. I’m also highly interested in the role of renewable energy solutions in buildings, as I believe they are crucial for building more sustainable and resilient structures.
My goal is to contribute meaningfully to a more sustainable future in the construction industry, bringing innovative, eco-conscious practices to the forefront.
