Laura Ponte Souza, I'm a 21 years old brazilian Civil Engineering student from Federal University of Pará. By working as a voluntary researcher around the university I had the opportunity to study many ways of improving cost and efficiency of constructions, and mainly, how to reduce environmental impacts caused by the consume of cement around the world. Being in the university also allowed me to work in diverse teams such as ENACTUS, the academic directory and other personal projects such as a personal art portfolio, helping me expand my horizons and look for diverse ways of gaining knowledge. My current research project is to study the potential use of the Kaolin Sludge, a waste product from the amazon kaolin industries, as a partial substitute for portland cement in the fabrication of concretes, helping reduce the cement consumption and consequent CO2 emissions and improving efficiency for buildings all around the world.
