|Dr. Sreekanta Das, Professor of Civil Engineering and Associate Dean of Research and Graduate Studies at the University of Windsor, is a distinguished expert in the field of innovative construction technologies, with a particular focus on 3D printing and modular or offsite construction. His extensive background includes roles as a Defence Scientist for Canada's Department of National Defence, a structural engineer in India, and a researcher in Australia, enriching his work with a global perspective.
Dr. Das has been researching steel modular construction for over 10 years. He chairs the '''''Z Modular Centre of Innovation and Sustainable Modular Construction''''' at the University of Windsor, where he leads projects focused on rapidly building affordable, structurally sound, and environmentally sustainable steel modular apartment buildings.
His team in collaboration with Habitat for Humanity Windsor-Essex and nidus3D completed Canada’s first 3D-printed housing project which was financially supported by CMHC. He is currently testing 3D-printed walls and beams for strength, thermal resistance, and durability. Actively involved with renowned international organizations like ISO and ASTM, he contributes to developing building design standards for 3D-printed homes.
Dr. Das’ research efforts are directed towards fostering automation in the construction industry, boosting Canada's global competitiveness, and creating housing solutions that are affordable, equitable, environmentally sustainable, and accessible. Furthermore, Dr. Das is at the forefront of developing sustainable construction materials from clay and waste products, aiming to lower the construction industry's carbon footprint and align with Canada’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
