Hi readers! My name is David Duarte, I am from Colombia. I have a degree in materials engineering with an emphasis on ceramic materials for the construction industry. I am a student of the Master’s Degree in Advanced Materials and Circular Economy and I want to develop binder materials with a lower carbon footprint, friendly to the environment.
My professional goals are to join research groups dedicated to the reuse of waste for its reincorporation into the production chain and achieve a transition from the linear economy model to a circular and sustainable model.
My areas of expertise are: life cycle analysis of products, binder materials, ceramic glazes and glass. Valorisation and reincorporation of industrial wastes. Physical-chemical characterization of materials and implementation of new technologies.
About DAVID DUARTE NIETO
Hello! I am David Duarte, I was born in Colombia, but I grew up in Venezuela. I work in the field of materials and their potential in the construction world. I'm currently studying a master's degree in advanced recycling of materials, a path that brings me closer to the goal of contributing to a more sustainable world. I like being in contact with nature. If I can overcome laziness, I like hiking and mountaineering. At home, I usually read manga and watch Japanese animation, a culture that awakens a lot of curiosity and admiration in me. I also enjoy exploring the gastronomy of each new place I visit.
