Juliana Berglund-Brown

Juliana Berglund-Brown is a Master's of Science in Building Technology student advised by Professor John Ochsendorf. Growing up in Northern Arizona, less than an hour from the Grand Canyon, she was aware of how the natural environment is impacted by the built one at an early age. This exposure and dynamic lead her to pursue a bachelor's in Civil Engineering with a focus on structures and construction at Stanford University.  Her current research revolves on the adoption of Circular Economy principles in the building sector, addressing the urgent need for improving productivity, reducing new materials and resource extraction, and decreasing carbon emissions in the built world. More specifically, she is focused on industry implementation of reusing steel load-bearing components in buildings.
