Jackson Jewett wants to design buildings that use less concrete

Jackson Jewett, a PhD student, is developing algorithms to design large structures using less concrete, which would significantly reduce the construction industry's carbon emissions. The work focuses on optimizing material usage in building design to make construction more sustainable.

The PhD student is honing algorithms for designing large structures with less material — helping to shrink the construction industry’s huge carbon footprint.
